New York singer-songwriter, harpist and guitarist Lizzie No is one of the most exciting new voices in contemporary American music.
You could say that she makes “Americana” music, in that her work pulls from the rhythms and traditions of blues, folk and country - not unlike the artists to whom she’s most often compared: Allison Russell, Rhiannon Giddens and Adia Victoria. However, her collaborations with Brian Dunne, Pom Pom Squad and Domino Kirke also embrace an undeniable indie influence that allows No to move seamlessly between overlapping musical circles.
After two stunningly eclectic albums, Hard Won and Vanity, Lizzie's acclaimed new record, Halfsies, finds her still searching for freedom from the constraints of categorisation, but more importantly, freedom from the depths of despair and from an increasingly violent and nightmarish American cultural and political landscape.
Lizzie has toured with Iron & Wine, Adia Victoria, Sarah Shook and the Disarmers, and has showcased at festivals like Newport Folk Fest, AmericanaFest and South by Southwest. She is also a winner of the American Songwriter Lyrics Contest. In June 2021, she joined Basic Folk as a guest host, appearing monthly on the podcast.
