Not only do I live in the bustling metropolis that IS Columbus,OH....I live the suburbs of said bustling metropolis. Which is pretty much a drag. Living downtown here is okay, lots of cool places to get to pretty easily. The suburbs? I can walk to a waffle house and like four drug stores. Not much else. I would shut up and move already, but next time I move it will be a move of greater distance I hope, to a newer, shinier destination. I bring this up because when I do decide to take in some a show [...]

Elizabeth Willis' lovely debut centers around her and a piano haunted by strings and tales of love, attraction, moving on, and saying sorry. The pomp and circumstance of the sauntering "4AM," reigns supreme on this one, though the soaring "In Your Eyes," certainly won't disappoint. Elizabeth Willis was born in Washington D.C., but spent her early years in St Louis, MO where she started training on piano at 4-years-old, then soon went on to add violin.

"In Your Eyes" - Elizabeth Willis When a song starts with this much immediate authority, I wonder why all songs don't do this. Isn't it simple?: a forceful beat, some piano vamping with nice chords changes, and a bit of tempestuous violin (and/or viola) playing. Nothing to it. Well, okay, maybe there's a bit of something to it--especially the violin and/or viola playing. Turns out Willis is a former child prodigy in both violin and piano. Classically (and relentlessly) trained from the age of four. Maybe this isn't so simple after all. [...]
