Music has long been a universal language, capable of transcending cultural and geographical boundaries, evoking emotions and connecting people across the globe. One young musician who has taken this notion to heart is Eliza Hope Cowdery, a 16-year-old student at The Brit School.
- Known for her confessional lyricism, poetic imagery and raw emotion, Miss Cowdery is inspired by the storytelling of Joni Mitchell, the traditional folk tunes and tales of Kate Rusby and the vulnerability of Adrienne Lenker.
- Her songs echo the timeless quality of classic folk whilst embracing contemporary themes, allowing her to connect with listeners across generations.
Eliza Hope Cowdery has been fascinated by music since a young age, starting with the violin at just five years old. She later discovered a passion for singing and songwriting, learning to play bass guitar, guitar, and perfecting her craft. Her musical journey has been marked by a passion for storytelling, which she weaves into her lyrics, drawing inspiration from various artists and genres. A recent release, her EP “Space In Between” is the culmination of two years of refining her songwriting skills, and she will be celebrating its launch with a live performance at the Dublin and Castle in Camden on Tuesday, April 29, at 7:30 pm, accompanied by her band and special guests. The EP includes the title track “Space In Between”, alongside “Danny’s Song”, “Growing Pains”, “Counting to Three”, and “Island”. With its blend of classic and contemporary themes, the album showcases Eliza’s unique voice and songwriting style. A unique aspect of Eliza’s music is her approach to instrumental arrangement and vocal harmonies. She writes and arranges her own instrumental parts, and sophisticated vocal harmonies, often performing all the vocals, guitar parts, strings, and harmonies on the EP herself. This level of creativity and dedication has earned her recognition and praise from fans and critics alike. Throughout her performances, Eliza’s authenticity, warmth, and ability to captivate an audience with quiet intensity have been consistently praised. Her live shows are a testament to her talent, and a shining example of the impact that music can have on people’s lives.
“I am so grateful to all those who continue to support my music. Over the past two years, I have refined my songwriting craft, and I am excited to share this body of new songs with everyone, on streaming platforms as well as playing live with my band.” – Eliza Hope Cowdery
