Blending fierce, massive vocals and raw bluesy guitar with introspective lyrics and electronic textures, Elizabeth Moen "showcases both strength and vulnerability, reminding us that these traits often go hand in hand" (NPR Music).
In her heartland hometown of Vinton, Iowa, Moen taught herself guitar as a teenager. "I've always been able to sit alone in my thoughts,” she says, “but I can't sit in silence.” She noticed this innate need to make noise at a young age, and affectionately referred to as “an emotional journey with no destination."
But Moen did arrive somewhere: at her first performance. She credits the experience with transforming her relationship to songwriting.“I felt understood for the first time," she says. "I realized songs were the best way I could explain my thoughts and feelings to others — and to myself."
