Liza Day

Liza Day and the Northbound Trestle Singers are a 5-piece Midwest Americana band rooted in Chicago’s young, alternative-country tradition. The band was founded in 2008, by singer/song-writer and Wisconsin native, Liza Day, a graduate and former artist in residence of The Contemporary Music Center in Martha’s Vineyard, MA. Liza, 27, leads the band with a voice unforgettably warm and pure, skillfully combined with a performance as vulnerable and sincere as the songs themselves. The band’s musical style is described as straight-forward classic country, layered with a raw, untidy, rockabilly vibe. In August,2009, they released their debut album entitled, "Liza Day and the Northbound Trestle Singers", recorded and produced in Chicago. Since then, the band has completed several successful tours on the east coast and in the Midwest and has also played several well known Chicago venues. The band is currently working toward release of their next EP in fall, 2011.
