Elizabeth Moen
Elizabeth Moen was raised in small town of the Midwest and with a full schedule and three part-time jobs, she would still find time to go to open mics and sing covers with her guitar. Late September of 2015, she quit her jobs and began songwriting. She has since taken the scene by storm in the Midwest.
Most musicians are lucky if they can write a handful of semi-decent songs in the course of less than half of year. Elizabeth Moen has not only written an eight track debut album, but she’s also recorded it, released it, and sold out a local Iowa City venue, The Mill, for the first time in a long time (for a local act).
In January of last year, the 22 year old released her debut album Songbird, which she recorded at Flat Black Studios just outside Iowa City. At the time of her album’s release, Moen had been writing her own lyrics and music for just 5 months, and to date a shockingly short 8 months.
Elizabeth Moen will be releasing her sophomore LP titled “A Million Miles Away” on vinyl this September in the US, and August in Ireland. Elizabeth’s song “Mars” is featured in a new Netflix original movie - Candy Jar by director Ben Shelton, and staring Christina Hendricks, Uzo Aduba, and Helen Hunt.
