about Sophia Eliana

Sophia Eliana (she/her) is a Denver-based queer folk artist, florist, and dancer from Monterey, California. She began her undergraduate studies as a voice principal at Berklee College of Music in Valencia, Spain. Among sheep and root vegetables, she concluded her undergraduate studies farming at College of the Atlantic on Mount Desert Island, Maine. Sophia Eliana has embarked on multiple national and international tours, performing at venues such as Mengi (Reykjavik, Iceland), to The 1932 Criterion Theatre (Bar Harbor, ME) to The Artist bar Valencia (Valencia, Spain) to Denver PrideFest (Denver, CO) to Sonoma Bluegrass & Folk Festival (Sonoma, CA). She fosters the craft of storytelling through songs that resemble overgrown meadows blossoming with wildflowers and artwork reminiscent of a warm hug from a loved one.

Sophia Eliana’s debut album, Pears & Honey, is a witty and heartfelt collection of folk songs. It opens with field recordings of spring peepers and Acadia National Park brooks, setting the tone for the ensuing track list — a set of songs dripping with saccharine vocals and lyrics that leave you feeling like you just indulged in a sweet spoonful of honey. 

In May of 2025, Sophia Eliana will be trekking across the east coast touring folk trio project, “Butter Bird,” alongside bandmates Pascale Cheron and Sadie Radinsky.
