This month's unreleased song is here!
The message of "Home is Where You Are" really resonates with me right now (more on that in a minute), but the only recording I had of it was a rough iPhone recording. Not to mention, it was played on an out of tune piano. So I only wanted to share this song if I could re-record it...
This morning I set up my home ...

Hey sweet Lizards!!
I'm still buzzing from my first real show this past Friday! Whoa. Being around people again re-energized me and now I cannot wait to get back out on the road like old times. When are YOU seeing live music again? Any plans? Tell me about it in the comments.
MORE on that later because I'm here to tell you:

Our wedding month (yep, we streeeeeetched the festivities out a good long while) is sadly coming to an end. These have been the best days of my life. My heart has never felt so full. Stuffed. Maybe it's all the eating and drinking we've been doing in our celebrations. ;) But really it's the feeling of doubling the amount of family<...

I'm jam-packing your Patreon inbox this weekend because the latest unreleased song is here...
This song is actually related to marriage a bit, in that I wrote it after realizing I could have almost married someone who wasn't right for me.
"All your talk about a diamond ring, like a band of gold could change anything."
It was weird to think...

You may not know this song - yet - but it is a love song like no other.
I remember when my friends first shared Shawn Colvin's recording of Never Saw Blue Like That with me. It completely stopped me in my tracks.
The patience.
The timing.
The phrasing.
The guitar chords are a player's dream, famil...

Hey Lizards!!!
Yours truly is officially Mrs. Liz Larney!!!
(I’ll keep my stage name, so you won’t find me at lizlarney.com haha)
Our wedding was the best day of my life. I didn’t think I could love Patryk any more than I do, but there is something so spiritual about choosing to spend the rest of our lives together.
We had the most romantic rain sprinkled ceremony...

This song is about finding peace in making hard, life-changing decisions.
Ten years ago, I wrote Ain't Nothing Wrong with a writer/producer in Nashville named Seth Jones.
When I first moved to Nashville, I had a manager who was entrenched in the film/tv synchronization* side of the music industry. This manager was connected to a network of songwriters who wrot...

I've been slowly sharing the Acoustic EP version of Funeral For My Past here on Patreon. While it's technically out on CD via my website, it won't be downloadable/streamable online until sometime this summer. 2021-04-16 19:56:00 +0000 UTC View Post
In September 2018, I was lucky enough to be invited to a GRAMMY event here in Nashville called 'Up Close & Personal with John Prine & Bill Murray'. Yep. It was as incredible as it sounds. There were no more than 75 people in the studio to witness an intimate conversation between Prine & Murray. The room was filled with laughter, and grounded in the calm, gentle nature of John Prine....

Spring Break of 2010. There were 100 of us Berklee students on the "Nashville trip" where we spent a week learning the ways of Music City. Our days were filled with panels from some of Nashville's greatest musicians, engineers, producers, music publishers and more... It was what lead so many of us to flock to TN after graduating. One of the songwriters who sat ...

Yes, it's technically available on CD but it's not hit the online streaming/downloading platforms yet. On July 9th, I'll release the first single (TBD!), and slowly roll out the rest up until the whole thing is out on 10/29/21.

Most of you know that Joni Mitchell is a huge part of why I ended up becoming a singer/songwriter. Blue is my number one all time favorite album. It might be a bit cliche to cover this song, but I couldn't help myself. I love this song so much.
Hope you enjoy the latest cover. I certainly enjoyed making it for you at Smith Lake. As you can tell, the view didn't hurt!!
Another verbal diary entry just for you! <3
Forgot to mention though - - tonight, you're invited to view my Wired In session on NPR.org at 7pmCT/8pmET! I was able to film this performance at East Iris Studios in Nashville last year.

Here's something TOTALLY different from what you've heard me share here before!
Wake You Up was written in 2018 during my pop writing phase. It was a BLAST. I wrote with a super talented new wave of writers (pictured) in Nashville, who were either still in college at Belmont, new to town or newly signed to a publishin...

For several reasons (which I won't get into right here, right now), 2021 has been heavy on my heart.
Not knowing when I'll see you all again, and not having had a show in awhile has taken a toll on my sense of drive and purpose. Making music for you, and feeling your energy is sure to be the remedy... but right n...

My parents were away on vacation.
My sweet grandmother was babysitting me and my brother for a few days.
I was 14 years old with 6 years of piano playing under my belt. I was just discovering how much I loved singing while playing. Thick piano books full of songs from Broadway to the Beatles could entertain me for hours.
I'm not sure why... but while my parents were o...
