The story of Liz the musician is born with her arrival in New York City's East Village, which she now calls home. She bizarrely found
herself playing rhythm guitar in a dive bar in Alphabet City. Bizarre, because she was not a musician, but had been recruited into a weekly
gig with an unorthodox string band for her innate sense of musical timing. Not knowing how to finger chords, she stuck a playing card

teach herself how to actually play the guitar. She then began singing and writing songs, demonstrating a unique ability to create stunning
pieces of lyrical audio-visuals, all proven on Limelight.
"At times her lyrics are dark, the musical arrangements haunting and strangely atmospheric, but throughout you become captivated by this
newcomer's songs of regret, loss and hope for the future."
