Judge for Elizabeth Russell

Got grit and Grace? Elizabeth Russell is truly one of a kind in her unabashed showcase of imperfections and a flippant attitude to accompany. She'll have you convinced she's a bad ass, and then she'll turn around and show you her vulnerable side. She's not afriaid, and she's very afraid. Contradiction? Or just someone very in touch with the depth of darkness and the weightlessness of light, woven into one incredibly original journey. Subtle Annie Lennox influences on occasion compliment the organic, folk-rock foundation. She's been compared to "Ani Difranco without the histrionics" by Mike Breen of Cincinnati's "Citybeat Magazine". Some other influences include Shelby Lynne, The Pretenders and Edie Brickell just to name a few. She's one of those artists that you try to put your finger on when trying to compare her to others, then it dawns on you...she is totally original in style and sound.
