New Track Uploaded!
Dear Friends,
Please listen to my latest track release “Ghost Town”! It tells the story of someone who never left their hometown, never challenged their comfort zone–despite meeting someone who tried to get them out. I’m so happy to share the work of myself, Luke Sullivan, Jon Keane, Zach Lerman, and Eric Landers (who had played with me since the beginning!). Please enjoy!
Love, P.Eliza
1/4/2017 PA’s Lounge
Start the year off right with a nice little show put on by WEMF! Wednesdays at PA’s are one of the rare chances we as songwriters have to play solo, be experimental, and to meet other local songwriters.
Join us for the laid back, acoustic sing-alongs of Henry Glitter; original folk-pop of Amanda Picciche (In Ivy); alt-country inspired, confessional music of Poor Eliza; songs of biting commentary and satire by Will Roos; and original blues rock by touring songwriter Zeke Duckworthy, who is promoting his full-length album “Bad Road Trip.”
WEMF is one of the few artistic organizations that will book a night like this, and I’m so grateful. Many thanks to Heather Timmons for booking me! Now….what kind of weirdness will we have ready for you?
8:30-9:05 Henry Gitter
9:15-9:50 Jane Park of (Poor Eliza)
10:00-10:35 Amanda Picciche
