Elaine Greer is a singer-songwriter whom Free Press Houston covered from the late 2000s as a local solo artist, including a 2009 feature on a CD release its writers described as long overdue. The archive holds her appearances at Westheimer Block Party in 2007 and 2009 and at Free Press Summer Fest in 2010. A 2011 profile noted that many people in Houston remembered her fondly, and later listings described her as a Houston/Austin and then Austin-based musician, a change the archive records without fixing its date.
