About Lizzie No
Website | Facebook | Instagram | X (Twitter) | YouTube | Spotify | Apple Music | Soundcloud | Bandcamp
Let’s start with this: genre is a construct.
To categorize artists might make it easier to organize record stores and playlists but there’s no one term that could define any artist, least of all one like Lizzie No (she/her/they/them).
You could say that Lizzie No makes “Americana” music, in that her work pulls from the rhythms and traditions of Blues, Folk, and Country — not unlike the artists to whom she’s most often compared: Allison Russell, Rhiannon Giddens and Adia Victoria — but her collaborations with Brian Dunne, Pom Pom Squad and Domino Kirke display an undeniable Indie influence that allows No to move frequently and seamlessly between overlapping musical circles.
You could say that Lizzie No writes “protest” songs, in that as a Queer, Black woman, her entire existence is a living, breathing, singing protest against a genre and a country that, on their best days, are reluctant to reckon with the very foundations upon which they were built. The erasure of Black artists is central to the myth of country music — what it means, what it stands for, where it comes from — and so simply by standing on stage and singing, whether it be in theaters across the country with the Black Opry, or at Queer Line Dancing nights with the Lavender Country tour, Lizzie No is staging a kind of protest.

About Samantha Rise

Music is your birthright.
Your voice belongs as it is, you belong as you are.
We can’t be afraid and sing at the same time.
These are the tenets and principles that guide Samantha Rise, a non-binary songcatcher and performer based in Philadelphia. As a self described ‘pollinator’ performer, their songs collect and evoke their myriad influences, across labels of genres and medium.
Samantha’s passion for music and community building are the heart of their work; a student of jazz, improvisation, social justice movements and the music that drives them, Samantha encourages a unique vulnerability with their audiences, reminding us all that music is our birthright, and a technology of healing, transformative justice and self-determination.
An award-winning songcatcher, Rise's music is sensual and staggering in its accounts of what it means to allow ourselves to be known; giving voice to heartbreak, hope and all the spaces between, wherever words fail. Through their music, Samantha Rise invites us to listen for our own music, and to sing in the world we know is possible.

The current quintet combines the blues and rock chops of bassist David Adomites, the mult-instrumental passion of Robin Cohen, on mandolin, guitar, keyboard and harmonica , the soulful vocal intensity of Debra D’Alessandro, the syncopated percussion of Mike App, and last—but certainly not least—the powerful vocals and guitar of Todd Oberholtzer. The Relics will have you on your feet loving every note!
