Liz Clark is a New York City/ West Cork Ireland-based singer/songwriter with a crystalline tone and charismatic stage presence that shine through her poetic pop songs. A relentless touring musician over the last 4 years, Liz has been gathering fans and respect in both the US, the UK and Ireland, where she spends half her year. Her love of music shines through at her live shows, but she's also garnered wide acclaim on the small screen. The video for her first single, "Who's Your Angel," went to #3 on MTV's Logo Network and she has recently signed deals with Oxygen, MTV, and TrueTV Networks to feature her songs in such shows as "The Hills" and "The Real World Manhattan". Liz has opened for well-known musicians such as Joe Walsh, Ritchie Havens, Linda Perry, Bob Schneider, and The Counting Crows over the years. Liz has just finished recording her 3rd album,Pursuit- releasing August 11th, 2009 in Ireland- her most honest songwriting to date. In efforts to raise money independently for her new CD, she sold over 200 pre-orders strictly through fan contributions. She has also been touring with one of her musical side projects, the three-part harmony female trio, "Girl Parts", which raises money for Domestic and Sexual Violence awareness. Born into a music loving family in Denver, CO., she was raised on a strict diet of rock and roll and folk music. At 12, she taught herself the guitar so she could play for her favorite band, the Beatles, before realizing they weren't in need of new members- not to mention they disbanded WELL before she was born! In her later teens, she toured colleges and festivals throughout the West extensively in support of her first self-released record Love and War, which sold nearly 3,000 copies. She's also pretty good at crossword puzzles, her second passion... Tessa Perry is a vocalist, guitarist, and writer whose sound is steeped in the country-blues and folk traditions. She's rapidly cultivating a loyal fan base on both sides of the Atlantic through her startlingly fresh songs with lyrics that are wistful and punch-in-the-gut candid. Whether playing to a sold-out 200-seat venue or an East Village dive bar, Tessa spins images and observations of the world around her into soulful, intimate communication with her audience. Born in England and raised on the west coast of Ireland, Tessa hit the road at age 18 with a dilapidated guitar, three (not to be named) cover songs, and a mind to educating herself in the ways of the world. She soon got bored to tears with those three songs, so she proceeded to write her own new tunes. Thus began a career that would lead her to performing across Europe with headliners like Ani DiFranco, Damien Rice, the Indigo Girls, the Corrs, the Hothouse Flowers, and many more internationally successful artists. Tessa's debut recording, Live at DeBarras, was released in 2001 in Dublin to national acclaim. Music critic Cormac Looney called the album's subtly raw compositions and boldly improvisational style 'solemn, heartfelt and neatly funky, standing shoulder to shoulder with the best of Irish songwriting in the last year.' Tessa's latest album, Weightless, was recorded in New York City, where Tessa has found a fertile new home base. 'Weightless' is a peep into the life of an outsider trying to make it on the inside. With her sweet-as-honey, thick-as-whiskey voice Tessa tussles with some lyrically brilliant songs with both hands and holds them out for you to taste and savour. Co-produced by Brad Albetta, who has recently gained deserved praise for his work with Martha Wainwright, this album is the beginning of what promises to be an extraordinary career, because it's the only way she knows
