Join us for another great evening of original music featuring outstanding regional songwriters. This month's featured artists:
Eliza Rush
Eliza Rush is a singer, songwriter, and storyteller whose original music ranges from the intimate to the anthemic - blending folk, pop, country, and contemporary influences. Lyrics explore themes of love, loss, resilience, and the spaces in between. Whether it's a cathartic confessional or a light-hearted tune that emerged for no particular reason, Eliza’s songwriting invites listeners to feel, reflect, and connect.
A native of Canada - Eliza presently resides in the Lehigh Valley. Her releases include: the album “All That Remains”, an EP “This Side of Heaven” and her newest album “Who We Are”. You can find her music on all streaming platforms.
