Reika Cully offers mellow, heartfelt music that creates a relaxing and peaceful mood for events. Her voice is often compared to Alison Krauss and Nora Jones. She plays folk songs, roots music, pop and rock covers in singer-songwriter style, and even Japanese songs.

I will design the setlist according to your needs and the style of the event. Sets can be 30-180 minutes long. If more than 60 minutes long, I will take one short break in between.
Reika Cully (AKA Elizabeth Etta) is a singer-songwriter currently based in San Luis Obispo, California. She spent many years in Japan where she was part of the band Pirates Canoe, a folk, roots, and Americana band that has toured from Tokyo, Japan, to the United States east coast. They were featured in Esquire Magazine and Rolling Stone Magazine as one of the top ten acts seen at SXSW, where they were an official showcasing act for three years. In 2010, MTV Iggy produced two videos of Pirates Canoe as an international band with momentum and star value.
Today, Reika continues to write and perform as a solo act on the Central Coast of California. She lives on a small ranch with her husband, daughter, and parents.
I can provide a PA system for indoor or outdoor events.
If I use the client's PA system, I will need a vocal mic and input for my guitar.
