Lizzie No is a Brooklyn-based singer-songwriter, harpist and guitarist, guest performer with the Black Opry Revue and co-host of the Basic Folk podcast. Lizzie is a winner of the American Songwriter Magazine Lyrics Contest. She has showcased at Newport Folk Fest, Americanafest, South by Southwest, and the Mile of Music Festival.
“We are thrilled to bring musicians-on-the-rise like Lizzie No to the Annex,” said Taran Schindler, Deputy & Artistic Director of the Grand Vision Foundation. “When I first heard her pertinent lyrics delivered with such sincerity, they reminded me of activist folk musicians like Pete Seeger or Joan Baez. I also really like that she has taken the harp, a traditionally classical instrument, and turned it into the instrument of a singer-songwriter.”
No established herself as one of the most exciting new voices in indie folk music with her 2017 debut album “Hard Won.” She followed up the album with the release of “Sundown,” a benefit track for Black Lives Matter and her second album “Vanity,”(2019) was a hit at college radio stations across the country. Lizzie has played with Iron & Wine, Aida Victoria, and as a part of the Black Opry Revue; a touring revue formed to raise awareness for Black musicians in Americana music.
