Hey, most of you know I have done mostly solo stuff in town for the last 188 years. (Ok, that's a typo I should leave alone - right? Seems like 188 years, but I really meant 18 years...) So - I'm really excited about this new project! We have been having a lot of fun putting it together. Please do come out to show some support!
Check the calendar for upcoming dates - to be updated frequently!

I'm working on that! )

What has the press been saying? ABOUT THE ALBUM: "An incredible work of artistic accomplishment...the Cd shows all the ranges, styles, and in a word, versatility of this seasoned entertainer, and gives an insight into the depth of the person creating the sounds." Carol Elliott, Entertaining U Magazine, Jacksonville, Florida "I was immeasurably impressed by this album. From the production, to Roth's Guitar and voice, to the instrumental arrangements, to the songwriting; it is wonderfully done." Rick de Yampert Daytona Beach News-Journal " Finally, area singer/songwriter Elizabeth Roth has released an eclectic collection of songs called like the david. Roth sings like a darker Carly Simon....like the david contains passing moments of beauty and lasting moments of Gothic (like an empty Georgian house, not like a pasty faced rocker) atmosphere. Interesting stuff..." Rick Marino, entertainment writer, Florida Times Union "Interesting, unconventional, carefully crafted acoustic rock" David Demordaunt, Temujin Recordings, San Francisco " 'like the david' is a work of great scope, moving effortlessly from style to style - elements of folk, jazz, rock, funk, classical, & more ... From the opening somber strains of "The Fire" and the mournful "Plato's Regret" to up-beat numbers like "My Baby Keeps His Cool" and "Get It Right", both of which feature a rockin' horn section, Elizabeth displays a mature, urbane, & elegant approach to composition that features touching melodies, surprising modulations, and wonderful lyrics that will, over the course of this CD, pull on every emotion. David McLean, Tinfoil music "Roth 's songs range from jazzy lightly funky works akin to Norah Jones and Ricky Lee Jones, to ballads and folkie songs like Tracy Chapman and Phoebe Snow..." Rick de Yampert Daytona Beach News-Journal ABOUT ELIZABETH: "An awe-inspiring acoustic player with a powerfully clear voice” Michael Melchar, Backstage Pass Magazine "Her voice is one you remember......it soars, spirals, rocks, drops, calls to a lover, tells a story, growls the blues, cries. If Gamble Rogers and Phoebe Snow had a love child, and that baby was raised by Tracy Chapman, it might sound like this woman." Peter Guinta, staff writer, Saint Augustine Record "She has a unique ability to tell a story, as if it were the first time ever told, with every song she sings." Carol Elliott, Entertaining U Magazine, Jacksonville, Florida "hauntingly cerebral, yet romantic clarity" Marcia Armes, Saint Augustine Magazine
