"You sound like Liz Phair, but not as angry." - Tina, fan, Brooklyn, N.Y.

At the long-running Songwriter's Exchange, held in Jack Hardy's west village apartment, Suzanne Vega called her songwriting "ambitious".

Born in Jacksonville, Florida, Liza Garelik has lived in many different locations, conditions and states of mind. Besides making it difficult to answer the question "So where ya from?" her experiences have informed her on life as an artist and outsider in the United States, and fueled her passion for comparative examination of individuals' sense of place and time, and the symbolic relationship between an artist and her environment.
Liza has studied both vocal music performance and creative writing at the collegiate level, and believes that the inspiration to create like a genius comes to artists who live like they deserve it. Renting in Brooklyn for the past five years, and supporting herself through a variety of jobs, she performed several times as a solo artist, including at the anti-folk hotspot the Sidewalk Café, and opening for the Zen Tricksters at the now defunct Wetlands.
