PRESS for the LIZZY ROSS BAND

“Lizzy Ross is an exceptional artist, a wonderful person as well as an inspirational singer and songwriter. I have no doubt that one day soon Lizzy Ross will have people lining up to see her perform everywhere. She was a delight to work with and everybody hopes she will come back to the next Elderberry Festival.”
-Rodger Lenhardt, Director, Elderberry Festival

“One of the best guests I have had on in some time. Entertaining, honest, and well-spoken. Only in her early 20’s, Lizzy has already begun making quite a name for herself in the area with her stunning soulful voice and beautiful songwriting.”
-Adam Kincaid, Host of The Local Beat, 88.1 WKNC

“Singer Lizzy Ross has the pipes to do it all. Owning the stage like she’d been touring for years, she belted it out.”
- Jordan Lawrence, Daily TarHeel

“She can be sultry or innocent, despondent or hopeful. Throughout, though, her voice jumps octaves and bursts into extended runs, barely containing some hidden joy of youth or the excitement of uncertainty… In Traces, love is wonderful and cruel and steadfast and elusive, and Ross wants all of those pieces.”
- Andrew Ritchie, The Indy Weekly

“Standout performance… The band’s sultry, twangy and soulful sound was reminiscent of rocking alt-country singer Neko Case, with lead singer Lizzy Ross wooing the audience.”
- Abe Johns, The Daily TarHeel

“Lizzy’s debut solo album Traces utilizes mature songwriting, a lovely voice, and a gritty, earthy sensibility to make interesting, genre-bending folk music. Comparisons to the two Graces (Slick and Potter) have often been used to describe her voice… (Ross) reminds me of Rickie Lee Jones. That’s pretty tall comparison, but pertinent and well-deserved.”
-J. Evan Wade, Leeway’s Homegrown Music Network

“In a voice that’s got enough vibrato, sass and twang for a country singer, Ross’s earnest vocals waver between seduction and Fiona Apple-style intensity. Her lyrics are both clever — “stitch together threadbare hearts, make a new love from old parts”— and fun… just about the perfect antidote to clear away the muggy humidity of a North Carolina summer day”
- Anna Norris, the Daily TarHeel

“I was utterly blown away… Truly original songwriting, and the heart-bursting siren call of singer Lizzy Ross combined for something that I felt I had been waiting for my entire life. Ross’ voice has a soulful, swelling quality reminiscent of Fiona Apple…”
- Raleigh Weekend in Review

“Lucinda Williams style push-pull grit… her silver tongued vocals have the strength and confidence of a prowling tom cat. Stripped down by nature and Americana by arrangement, Lizzy’s lyrics are a fluent interpretation of the heart break tempered joy that swirl around young love. ”
- Jeremy Blair, Carrboro Music Review

“Regardless of how you want to label Lizzy’s music the girl has talent… as successful as Lizzy Ross is now I expect to see great things from her in the future ”
- Hunter Lee Elliott, Local Music Through a Canon Lens

“Singer Lizzy Ross has a voice that will melt your heart, I promise… beautiful stuff.”
- Corey Inscoe, The Noise Bazaar
