Album Notes

Liz Stahler's debut album, "Stitches In My Sleeve," entices listeners with what Deb Talan (The Weepies) calls Stahler's "achy bird voice," and her ability to write lyrics with lines that linger for days. Handed down from the tradition of songwriter's like Patty Griffin, Stahler utilizes the soft gritty texture of her vocals to express warmth and honesty audiences quickly embrace. Since releasing her album to a sold out crowd at Club Passim in Cambridge, MA, Stahler has toured aggressively through the United States garnering fans with her heart breaking songs, and candid story telling. With the support of producer Jason Petrin, and Stahler’s backing band, “Stitches In My Sleeve” has the unique ability to translate the emotion of Liz's writing into full band arrangements highlighting extraordinary musicianship and memorable musical hooks.
