TampAmericana singer/songwriter Liz Alden brings different POV. The kid on the airplane travelling alone… the couple reconnecting in hurricane clean-up… the bicyclist just trying to cross the mall parking lot …. the Floridians who can’t make up their mind whether Tampa or Miami has the better Cuban sandwich!
“Fun stuff!”
— Cam Dilley, WMNF
Liz draws the surprised chuckle and makes you feel less alone. There's a dash of magical realism-- baggage we literally can't escape from, background music that would warn us if only we could hear it, and the feeling of meeting someone before and again and again.
Liz has charmed audiences at weekend markets, cafes and breweries, listening rooms, community events, festivals and nonprofit gatherings, from Florida to Nova Scotia.
“Such a great night with Swallowtail Cousin!”
— The Rollin' Mullet Bar & Grill
Swallowtail Cousin, Liz's duo with veteran rocker Tony Purnell, has headlined the City of Safety Harbor's Holiday Nights, Folly Faire, and Pickin’ In The Park events, as well as the Seminole Heights Lawn Concert Series presented by FWD Thinkers Music, the City of Largo's Third Thursdays, and Planter’s Ball at Sweetwater Community Farm. They've been featured at the Farm Aid Tampa Bay Music Fest, the National Train Day Fest at Tampa Union Station, and numerous locally owned venues.
Liz's studio releases include the debut EP Like the Moon Draws the Water (2021) and the collaborative progressive rock/pop album New Geometry (2023) with Martin Gilmartin Lazar, both available on major streaming platforms.
