"The self-assured Elizabeth and the Catapult prove what a sultry-voiced Greenwich Village habitue with a Norah Jones jones should do: Just let it flow" -The Boston Globe

"The jazzy/funky voice of Elizabeth and the Catapult's Elizabeth Ziman caught my ear immediately, their "Waiting for the Kill" is one of the discs standouts." -Pop Matters
"Another really cool artist is Elizabeth and the Catapult. Elizabeth sings lovely low-key pop songs similar to Norah Jones. She has great melodies and a great voice" -Revolt Media
"The members of Elizabeth and the Catapult bring a unique collection of skills to their project, with an interesting, unintuitively-cool result. The stand-up, jazz-style base line defines a great framework while the sweet female vocals melodically tell true lyrics." -The Cornell Sun
Elizabeth wrote her first song at age six, banging out melodies on an old upright in a Greenwhich Village laundry room. A born romantic, Elizabeth transformed the music of Debussy, molding it to the driving rhythms of the washer and dryer. With Debussy and Bach on her left and the Beatles just to her right, Elizabeth quickly developed a sound all her own. Her “Baroque” pop songs have frequently been compared to those of Rufus Wainright, Fiona Apple and Laura Nyro.
Elizabeth received the ASCAP Leiber and Stoller award in 2001 for her song “Like Water is to Sand”. From two years, she toured across the U.S. with soul queen Patti Austin, who kicked off her tour at Lincoln Center in 2003. This past year, Elizabeth also performed with Enya, singing with her on Regis and Kelly as well as the CBS Morning Show. Elizabeth has performed extensively with her band, The Catapult(Dan Molad, Pete Lalish and Matt Wigton), in New York City and Boston (The Knitting Factory, The Living Room, Rockwood Music Hall, The Cutting Room, The Middle East, T.T. The Bears). They completed their new S/T EP last spring, and promoted the album on ‘soundcheck’ with John Shaefer(WNYC) in April.
