Liv Greene isn’t running from herself anymore. She’s pried herself open and let real longing, frustration, and love break free. Deep Feeler, her sophomore album, is a reckoning with reality, a vulnerable snapshot of hard-won self-acceptance. It’s feminine, queer, and defiant. It also heralds the arrival of Greene as a powerful new voice who joins the songwriting tradition of Emmylou, Patty, Gillian, and Lucinda – in her own way. Greene self-produced and recorded Deep Feeler primarily live to tape in Nashville’s Woodland Sound Studios, with collaborator Matt Andrews (Gillian Welch & Dave Rawlings, O Brother Where Art Thou) and a dreamy band of friends including Jack Schneider, Sarah Jarosz, Dom Billett, Elise Leavy, Jordan Tice, and Christian Sedelmeyer. The resulting collection of lilting melodies and poignant storytelling is a bold achievement: a piece of art that matters culturally, musically, and personally.
“Liv Greene is one of the most exciting voices and songwriters coming up today. She has one of those pure voices that stopped me in my tracks the first time I heard it… she’s genuine and real and that comes through in her songwriting. When songs are this good, more people need to hear them, which is why I’m so thrilled to have her along for this run of shows.” – Sarah Jarosz
Raised on the central coast of California and currently living in Lafayette, LA, ELISE LEAVY has a distinctly unique voice as a singer and songwriter. Often likened to Joni Mitchell and Judee Sill, Elise says it must be the California seawater getting inside her head and heart from an early age. She has been writing songs since she was 8 years old, and recently was selected as a New Folk Finalist at the Kerrville New Folk Songwriting Competition. She has studied the art of singing and harmony for the better part of her 26 years, graduating from the New England Conservatory of Music at the tender age of 19, and moving to New York City to pursue music.
