Dance Time in Texas

Featured Artist • Elli Koen

Elli Koen is a Texas-born artist whose sound bridges the strength of traditional country with the soul of modern blues. Launching her career at a young age, she cut her teeth in Texas dance halls where authenticity mattered more than age and every song had to earn its applause.

By 18, she had already shared the stage with legends like Charlie Daniels, Moe Bandy, and Gary Stewart, an early testament to both her talent and commanding stage presence.

In recent years, Elli expanded her reach into the blues circuit, stretching her vocals, deepening her storytelling, and further defining her artistic identity. That influence adds grit and soul to her country foundation, giving her music both edge and emotional depth.

Now, with a sound anchored in truth and a career built on resilience, Elli Koen isn’t just reentering country music; she’s setting the stage for her strongest work yet.

Her newest release is a heartfelt tribute to traditional country, celebrating romance, longing, and deep emotional connection that captures the kind of old-school love most women yearn for …

a true Conway kind of Mood.
