Bio
Elizabeth
Butler was that kid...the one locked away in her Savannah, Georgia bedroom as a
teenager, poring over the liner notes of albums from Cat Stevens, Carole King, and
Dan Fogelberg. She took in melody and song construction and lyrics while
listening with the volume up way too loud. It is a fitting portrait of an
artist that embraces every aspect of a music career with gusto, from writing,
recording, collaborating, and navigating the business. This holistic approach
to her career shone brightly on Love
& Loss & Stuff Like That, her first solo album released in July
2014 and co-produced by Troy Warren, Jr. She describes the album as a scrapbook
concept, as if the listener is taking pieces of an artist's journal and
absorbing a life story in frames and vignettes. Butler's style is a "cool gumbo
of sound", and the listener can easily pick out country, pop, jazz, and
blues influences amidst an undeniably unique sound that is steeped in years of
practice and stacks of vinyl. Recording is the chance to let her compositions
reflect life as a whole. "It's the juxtaposition of the big romantic
swells with those small, intimate moments, and there is a craft to recording
that." -Jana Pochop for Social Thinkery
