ELIZABETH MOEN

“A Million Miles Away” LP release show plus support ^ Upstairs ^ The Culture Trip says, “Elizabeth Moen is one of those rare artists whose voice, from the first moment you hear it, consumes your entire being, doing away with all previous thoughts and concerns, and leaving you short of breath.” Little Village says, “Moen transfigures folk into an experience in the totality of instruments. But her vocals never shy away from the driver’s seat.” IPR(NPR) says, “Elizabeth is armed with a jaw-dropping singing voice, tasteful guitar playing, and songs that stay in your head for days.” — — — — Elizabeth Moen was raised in small town of the Midwest and went to the University of Iowa for teaching, international business, and French. With a full school schedule and three part-time jobs, she would still find time to go to open mics and sing covers with her guitar. Late September of 2015, she quit her jobs and began songwriting. She has since taken the scene by storm in the Midwest. With the release of her first vinyl LP in 2017, Moen toured solo and with her in band on regionally, the West coast, Europe, and is set to release her second vinyl LP in Ireland this August and the United States in September.
