Liz is an Albertan singer-songwriter influenced by artists such as Kacey Musgraves, Taylor Swift, and First Aid Kit.
Growing up on a farm near Olds, Alberta, she cultivated a deep-rooted passion for music at a very early age. Liz spent her childhood listening to music on the radio while checking cattle or hauling grain. By her mid-teens, Liz had penned dozens of songs and released a full-length LP. By the time she turned 20, the song-count was in the hundreds.
Winner of the 2018 CKFM Star Search and a 2019 FACTOR Artist Development grant recipient, Liz is fresh off the 2020 release of her new single “Different Shoulders”. Stay tuned for more exciting happenings this year, including new music and performances throughout the province.
“Liz is one of the brightest new talents on the Alberta music scene with an old soul approach to her writing that belies her age. Powerful vocals and lyrics that make you think. Liz is absolutely one to watch for!”
— Cory Noel | Program Director, CABK Broadcasting
“Albertan singer-songwriter LIZ is a fresh new voice in the Canadian prairies. The first time I heard her perform I was caught immediately by her siren-like vocal qualities and its haunting similarities to legendary Dolores O'Riordan. Farm-raised with an admirable work ethic, LIZ is poised to make real waves this year, and is an artist you'll want to keep on your radar.”
— Joal Kamps | Artist Mentor at Sojourner Music | Founding Co-Member of Flint & Feather

Things are a little bit different now, but we are looking forward to doing a smaller-scale version of our regular session series to celebrate our 1st anniversary with fun food, drink and a great lineup of talented Canadian musicians.
The Blue Jay Sessions: Anniversary Edition will feature 18 talented musicians in six sessions over three evenings in dynamic songwriters' circles, where the singers will share their original music and the stories behind their songs. Paired with the music will be a fun menu of Southern-inspired fare, including an Empire Provisions fried bologna sandwich and brisket tacos, a lineup of cool Forty Creek Whisky cocktails, and Russell Brewing craft beer.
Keeping health and safety front-of-mind, there will be very limited tickets available for the nightly sessions and guests will be asked to wear masks upon arrival until seated at their own table. As well, musicians will be performing behind a plexiglass setup while singing and adhering to all live performance safety protocols put forward by Alberta Health Services.
