LIZZIE NO IN CONCERT AND CONVERSATION

Lizzie No is an artist who shatters expectations. While often categorized as “Americana” due to her roots in Blues, Folk, and Country, her collaborations with Indie artists like Brian Dunne and Pom Pom Squad prove her genre-bending versatility. Comparisons to Allison Russell and Rhiannon Giddens only hint at her unique sound.

More than just a musician, Lizzie No is a powerful voice of protest. As a Queer, Black woman, her very presence challenges the historically exclusive narratives of country music. Whether performing with the Black Opry or on the Lavender Country tour, she reclaims spaces and sings truth to power. Her performances are acts of defiance, simply by standing on stage and sharing her art.

After two critically acclaimed albums, Hard Won and Vanity, and appearances at major festivals like Newport Folk and SXSW, Lizzie No is a leading figure in a new wave of artists. Her new album, Halfsies, is an immersive journey—a “video game,” as No describes it—tracing the path of “Miss Freedomland” from exile to liberation. This isn’t just a personal quest; it’s a collective one. “If you’re in these songs with me,” No explains, “what seems at first like a journey of self-analysis becomes a journey to get free, and get your people free, as well.”
