(Eli)zabeth Owens

I’m a Richmond-based artist, multi-instrumentalist, sound designer & educator who fell in love with the harp.

my music is about listening

—to myself, to others, and to the hidden frequencies that shape our lives. When the harp touches my body, I touch something deeper. When the strings move, I am moved to sing. To sing songs hiding just below the surface, songs that had to be felt before they could be sung.

Each show is a unique dance between my written material and moments of inspired listening. I regard every song as an evolving truth, using live tapestries of voice, percussion, loops and soundscapes to express the soul of each song as it wishes to be heard in that particular moment.  

 I show up not to perform, but to be present—to share, to listen, to offer songs as invitations to connect with the deepest parts of ourselves and each other.
