Bittersweet

Elizabeth Lorrey crafts a dark blend of edgy, intense acoustic rock. At once deeply personal and painfully universal, Lorrey's lyrics will stay with you long after the last clear note fades away. And while her polished, professional recordings are mesmerizing, her live shows have made her a local favorite with a growing fan base in the northeast. Pushing 'solo artist' to the extreme, Lorrey wrote, produced, engineered and performed nearly every note on her first full-length CD, Awakening. It is a profoundly intimate collection of songs that explores beginnings and endings and the points in between. Producer/engineer Darleen Wilson (Patty Larkin, Shawn Colvin, Bill Morrissey, Catie Curtis and a host of others) is a fan. 'The first time I heard Elizabeth was live in a small club in Western Mass, and she blew me away. She's got a sultry voice with no shortage of power, and she plays a bold but nuanced guitar. I listened to her CD the whole way home, and I still hear something new each time I listen. Her songs get me every time.' Lorrey performs regularly throughout New England, in venues large and small, from Portland, ME, to Providence, RI, with occasional forays to North Carolina, Michigan, and the Southwestern U.S. Engaging and often funny onstage, she delivers her darkly compelling songs in a way that immediately connects with the audience, converting casual listeners into loyal new fans with every performance. Her newest release, Bittersweet, contains her strongest work yet.
