Lili St Anne
Elizabeth Margit-Anne is the frontwoman of Lili St Anne, a Santa Fe-based art-folk project that combines the excitement of psychedelic rock with the groundedness of Elizabeth’s folk songwriting. Elizabeth has performed in Paris, Budapest, throughout Virginia and all over the western United States. When performing solo, Elizabeth shares the intimacy of her songwriting with grit and grace, exploring themes of love, loss, and grief with a heart-swelling verve. For fans of Sharon Van Etten, Feist, Joni Mitchell, and Johanna Newsom. Lili St Anne’s recent double-single release Love Blah Blah and Stranger can be found on all streaming platforms.
AJ Woods
Born and raised in Albuquerque, New Mexico, AJ Woods has been a part of the Southwest music scene for over a decade. He has released three full-length albums (Couch Confessions, 2009, S/T, 2013, The Fence, 2016), a critically-acclaimed EP (Halocline, 2019), as well as singles and live recordings, all of which have earned him comparisons to people such as Jason Molina and Neil Young. Still, “Woods'[s] lyrical style, guitar playing and singing are his own—something that can’t often be said.” (Alibi) He’s played with acts such as Jim Stallings (JJ Light, Sir Douglas Quintet), A Hawk and a Hacksaw, Big Thief and The Handsome Family among many others. With music and lyrics that are “poignant and powerful” (ABQ Free Press), Woods creates not only songs, but “unpretentious poetry.” (Alibi) “As soon as I heard these songs and watched the video, my mind was instantly made up that this was something exceptional, both calming and beautiful to listen to (and watch) and certainly deserving of Song of the Day on Folk Radio UK.” (Folk Radio UK) In times like these, Woods’s music and words are grounding forces. They take us back to the earth on which we live and depend, remind us that we have hearts, bones that break and heal, blood that leaves, blood we can share. They show we are related to, made and capable of many things.
