About Lizzy Loeb
Lizzy Loeb was born in NYC, into a family of musicians. While always active in music, it wasn’t until she was fifteen that she found her passion for the art of guitar-playing. Almost immediately upon learning a few chords, she began writing her own songs. She started learning by the Standards, accompanying herself singing. She listened mostly to songs from different generations: James Taylor, Stevie Wonder, The Beatles and Ella Fitzgerald. She watched her jazz musician parents and all their peers got together to record and play, impatiently waiting to be a part of it. The multi-talented singer, songwriter and guitarist grew up mainly in a tiny suburban town a short train ride from NYC, with all summers spent in Spain with her mother's family. It was an extraordinary change of pace that impacted her greatly, as she went from her home so close to the most famous metropolis in the world, to a tiny village across the ocean-- all wheat and sunflower fields-- where her grandparents lived. "It's the closest I'll ever get to time-traveling," says Lizzy.  At an early age, Lizzy began performing and singing on many recordings, many times in the home studio. She hasn't stopped since. She has performed in clubs and concerts in NYC, Madrid, London, Berlin, and more both solo and with some of the best musicians out there. "Musicians are my heros. It takes so many hours of study plus a bottomless, unbreakable well of love for music to pursue it as a craft." She has been building up a loyal, and wide-spread fan base and following through live performance, videos and her widening presence on the Internet.The first compilation of Lizzys original music was released with an independent label in 2009 on her first CD Drawing Lines. None or Too Much went to number 1 song on CDBaby.com. It was rereleased in Germany as "The One" in September 2011. An active songwriter, her second is in the works, to be released within the year! In addition, she has had many of her songs recorded with others, including two songs with the renowned German trumpet-player, Till Bronner. Other artists she’s worked with include Michael Franks, George Fenton, Mitch Forman, Giulio Carmassi, Will Lee, Ari Hest, and of course Mum and Dad. She was also a featured performer on BBC 2s Friday Night is Music Night with world acclaimed composer George Fenton known for his work writing film scores and music for television, performing a song they wrote together. Lizzy went on tour this summer opening for Curtis Stigers on his German tour. Lizzy also performed at one of the renowned TED Talk conferences recently, in South Carolina. Watch out for Lizzy in 2012.
