Born and raised in the American Southwest, Eliana Job is a vocalist and multi-instrumentalist partial to emotional, comedic performance. After a euphonium degree and a spell with the Santa Fe Opera, she moved to Brooklyn and combined her eclectic influences to explore The Great American Songbook as a medium of storytelling and connection. Now based in Santa Fe, NM, Eliana performs actively as a solo singer-songwriter, an enthusiastic bandleader, and a frequent guest with the indie/folk project Lamby–all in the outrageously southwestern setting of sculpture galleries, wine gardens, and desert trains.
