Honest and passionate, she invites you into a world where you share the essence of human emotional experience. If you find a little of your life in her music, that’s no accident. “I write music to connect,” she says. “Hearing my own thoughts, my own fears in another person’s words or lyrics gives me proof that I am not alone. If I can create that experience for someone else, then I am doing more than just singing and playing. I am connecting and healing.”

Liz has always been a singer, but did not start writing her own songs until after college. “I finally decided to take guitar lessons, and as soon as I got a few chords mastered, there was no turning back. The songs started to flow.” Graduating from Emory with an English degree, she decided to go into teaching. “Teaching analogy and metaphor to my students actually enhanced my songwriting,” Liz says. “I’m always searching for the clearest, truest version of myself. Writing songs helps me do that, as it integrates my love for music with my fascination with words.”

Influenced heavily by Sarah McLachlan, Liz also draws from artists such as Aimee Mann, Ani di Franco, and Michelle Malone. In her voice you can often hear a dynamic blending of Sarah McLachlan and Natalie Merchant that soothes your senses one moment and digs deep into your soul the next.

Liz Lee released a demo on Michael Levine's Watertown label in the summer of 2002, and is currently preparing for her next recording project--a full-length album to be released next spring.
