Over the last decade, Elaina has become one of the biggest presences in Country radio, bringing Nashville to her audiences across the country and internationally. As host of the Westwood One nationally syndicated Country radio program, Nights With Elaina, she was heard in markets across the U.S. and was honored for her work with four Gracie Awards and an ACM Award. She was also nominated for a CMA Award. Elaina is also widely known as the voice of the ACM Awards, People’s Choice Country
Awards, ACM Honors, and the Alliance for Women in Media Foundation’s Gracie Awards and works closely with the Country Radio Seminar moderating panels and hosting.

Getting her start in entertainment at the iconic Entertainment Tonight and The Insider in Los Angeles, Elaina found her true passion, radio, by joining a morning show in San Diego. Later, she moved across the country to host a morning show in Florida and then on to Nashville and into Country music. Very quickly she was in love with the community, the artists, and the passionate listeners. She’s now come full circle with her voice heard on both coasts, as well as by a welcoming audience internationally on Absolute Radio in the UK. Elaina also played herself on episodes of the hit television show, Nashville.
