Elizabeth Moen’s voice is big, beautiful, and impossible to ignore - it’s an instrument of raw power that can just as easily pull you in with a whisper. But it’s not just the voice that sticks with you, it’s the way she wields it. Her songwriting is equal parts confessional and self-aware, like catching up with a friend who makes you laugh while laying bare her unfiltered narrative.

Blending indie rock with American folk, Moen crafts songs that feel intimate yet expansive, balancing sharp wit with gut-punch emotion. Since her debut in 2016, her music has drawn critical praise from outlets like American Songwriter and No Depression, resonating with listeners who crave honesty wrapped in a killer melody.

Her 2022 independent release, Wherever You Aren’t, showcased her signature mix of vulnerability and humor, earning acclaim for both its authenticity and vocal dynamism. Now, she’s gearing up for her next chapter: an eagerly awaited follow-up album produced by Spencer Tweedy (Waxahatchee). If her past work is any indication, it will be another striking blend of unfiltered storytelling, soaring vocals, and the kind of songwriting that makes you feel like you’ve known her forever.

Sophie Coyote is a singer/songwriter from the small mid-western town of Waddams Grove, Illinois. Born in an old farm house surrounded by rolling fields. She was raised on a broad range of musical influences that include classic rock & roll, honky-tonk country and a bit of blues. This open mind of influence has led to a songwriting style that is reminiscent of the raw and honest age of music; lyrically driven with interesting stories, unique twists and word-play.

==================

The potluck is optional, but is a great chance to connect others in the audience and maybe even share a meal with the artist. It also helps ensure the artist isn't having to have a meal from a gas station. We'll provide the plates, bowls, silverware, napkins, and, if you need it, serving spoons. Feel free to bring anything you'd like--an entrée, appetizer, dessert, or drink to share. Bring something you will enjoy eating, because if you enjoy it it is likely others will as well.
