Jodi Gaines is an emerging American singer-songwriter and a true Florida native known for her soulful sounds and lively performances with Nashville guitarist / vocalist Eleni Skiba.
She is a touring artist, performing at national festivals and local hotspots, including the GrouperFest, Midwest Sunsplash Festival, Jensen Beach Pineapple Festival and more.
Jodi's debut EP Soul Sugar, a genre-bending, deeply personal compilation of soul, folk, rock and country tunes, was released on March 23, 2018. The title track Soul Sugar was officially entered into the 2018 NPR Tiny Desk Contest on March 19, 2018. Jodi's first single, Butterflies, a blues ballad featuring guitarist Jake Walden, was released in August 2016. The duos latest single, Shelter, will drop on July 12, 2019.
In 2017 Jodi founded Rockliscious, a concert series focused on highlighting women in music and giving back to the community. It too enjoyed much success during its inaugural 2017 Summer Tour at Terra Fermatta and The Funky Biscuit and raised enough money to put a talented young musician through music school for one year.
Eleni Skiba is a seasoned musician with over 35 years of musical experience, and has stepped up with some of South Florida's best bands over the years. Eleni's energetic rhythm provides anchor and vibe, along with soulful melodic harmonies that perfectly complements Jodi's vocal style.
From 2009 through 2014, she was the resident rhythm guitarist and harmony vocalist for The Samantha Russell Band and from 2014 to present, Eleni is one of the accompanying local musicians on backup vocals and guitar for Nashville Recording Artist, American Idol Season 14 & 15 Alumna and Top 24 Finalist, Emily Brooke. She also performed with up and coming Nashville Recording Artist Cassidy Daniels for A Salute to America's Heroes at Harbourside Place in 2015, and has shared the stage with Old Dominion, Kelsea Ballerini, Dustin Lynch, Charles Kelley, Chicago and other National artists. During her tenure, Eleni has won numerous awards for Best Local Band in 2011 (Samantha Russell Band), 2015/2016 (Emily Brooke) and the 2017 South Florida Country Music Award (Emily Brooke).
