SUMMARY:WXPN Welcomes Lizzie No
DESCRIPTION:Join us before the show for dinner & drinks in The Lounge\, our full-service restaurant & bar on the upstairs level which opens at 6pm. View menu & make a reservation. \n\n\n\nWith the release of her debut album\, ‘Hard Won\,’ in March 2017\, singer-songwriter\, harpist\, and guitarist Lizzie No established herself as one of the most exciting new voices in indie folk music. Billboard Magazine called the album “simultaneously understated and fervent.” She followed up the album with the release of “Sundown\,” a benefit track for Black Lives Matter. Building on the songwriting prowess displayed in her critically acclaimed debut album\, Lizzie No is unsparing in the stories she tells on her second album\, ‘Vanity\,’ released August 2\, 2019. The nine songs on ʻVanityʼ are epic tales of ego\, featuring narrative shifts within vividly crafted characters. No embodies characters ranging from a handsome egoist in “Narcissus” (which Rolling Stone called a “crisp alt-rock gem”) to a broke songwriter waiting for her big break in “Pity Party\,” to a bitter and isolated rocker on “Loyalty” who rants that the crowd has left him behind. Inventive arrangements written in collaboration with co-producer Nick Rapley elevate the record to shimmering heights\, alternating between swaggering grooves and intimate clarity.
