Elizabeth Moen

Originally from Iowa City, Iowa, Elizabeth Moen is a singer/guitarist/songwriter whose work has gone through a few changes since her early beginnings in the mid '10s. She has a strong grounding in indie folk with a distinct country/blues flavor lurking under the surface, which came more to the front in her second album, That's All I Wanted (2017). Her blues-inspired electric guitar work adds a somewhat mournful dimension to her emotionally resonant, low to mid-tempo ballads. She has been exploring her higher gear in her more recent work, rocking out a bit more often and more overtly. She has a powerful voice and a soulful delivery that often feels like she is teasing the audience with a deep growl that she artfully restrains herself from letting go.
