Lissie, born Elisabeth Corrin Maurus in 1982 and hailing from Rock Island, is a singer-songwriter with a guitar and a big, weathered voice that sounds like it grew up somewhere between a folk club and a honky-tonk. Her 2009 EP Why You Runnin' got her signed to Columbia, and 2010 brought both the In Sleep EP and her debut album, Catching a Tiger, with "When I'm Alone".
Back to Forever followed in 2013, with "Shameless" and "Further Away (Romance Police)", and it turned out to be her last record for a major label. Away from the majors she made the critically acclaimed My Wild West, in 2016, a set of rootsy country-folk songs with "Don't You Give Up on Me" at its core.
She kept rolling from there, with Castles in 2018, carrying "Best Days", and Carving Canyons in 2022, which featured "Night Moves". Her voice has stayed the constant: husky, warm and able to fill a room without raising itself above a murmur, or blow the roof off when it wants to.
