Atmospheric
Multi-Instrumental
Over the past decade, Iβve performed at a wide range of stage venues, festivals, and restaurants throughout Virginia and beyond as both a solo singer/multi-instrumentalist and harpist. I am also on the Virginia Commission for the Arts Artist Roster.
My sets can include everything from original compositions blending electronic production with acoustic intimacy to serene instrumental harp to warm jazz standards and familiar contemporary tunes with or without vocals.
Improvisation is a strong suit of mine, and Iβve had fun co-creating songs on the spot with audiences β perfect for special occasions and light-hearted parties.
Harp & Voice
Body of Work
knock knock
Knock Knock is an electronic/acoustic visual album that explores themes of recovery, spiritual reflection, defeat and compassion. Composed, recorded, and produced by Elizabeth Owens.
Running with the Wolves
(commissioned harp arrangement)
I created this arrangement as a gift for a friend's partner. Originally by Aurora, βRunning With The Wolvesβ is their favorite shared song, and I wanted to recreate the essence of the track but add my own musical flair. What began as a simple live recording of the melody with chords evolved into this multi-layered, ethereal harp piece.
Still Coming of Age
Still Coming of Age is a close-up and intimate revisiting of the songs from Coming of Age, reworked for harp, piano, and voice.
Coming of Age
Coming of Age is a folk-rock fairytale rooted in questions of personal responsibility, compassion, and breaking through social and emotional barriers.
