the box… As a front woman, Edwards is filled with magic.” – **The Aquarian**

“… the new release is an expansion on the psychedelic, roots rock and shoegaze-influenced
sound they already introduced to fans.  – **V13**

“…we are in for a treat with the band’s upcoming album as it showcases their loose
and heavy energy.” – **Glide**

“… an enchanting dip into Lizzie & The Makers’ bluesy synth-pop waters.” – **American
Songwriter**

“Lizzie & the Makers’ full-length _Dear Onda Wahl_ [is] poised for greatness.” –**

**JUNE 21, 2022 (Brooklyn, NY) **– “This show at **The Bowery Electric** was our
first full band show in NYC post quarantine.  Eight people on stage playing to a
packed room felt so good! I had missed that electric feeling,” says NYC-based **
Lizzie & The Makers** frontwoman **Lizzie Edwards **on the energy surrounding this
show that was the basis for the live video for their newest single “**Bottle**” (
out today).  “The crowd was more alive than ever and the energy between the band
and the crowd was pure joy,” she fondly recalls.  “Bottle” is a hard-hitting rockin’
alt-blues track that’s taken from the band’s sophomore studio album _[**Dear Onda Wahl**](https://reybee.us13.list-manage.com/track/click?u=f67b4587af2b2ef9aa80ed984&id=666bd12a6d&e=615f2b8493)_,
released independently on **November 5, 2021** and produced by the legendary aforementioned
Reeves Gabrels and **Mario J. McNulty** (_David Bowie, Prince_). 

Known for her electrifying live performances that stunned audiences at NYC’s Rockwood
Music Hall, Arlene’s Grocery, and 2022’s SXSW among many others, Lizzie & The Makers
will be playing the 8th Semi-Annual **Brooklyn Americana Music Festival** on **Saturday
June 25th.  **Performing on the Liberty Lawn Stage at Brooklyn Bridge Park Pier 
6, this is a **FREE** concert that is open to all.  She will hit the stage as dusk
settles at 6pm.

For that first show back from NYC’s venue shutdown due to the pandemic, Lizzie &
The Makers were joined on stage with some very special guests: aforementioned collaborator
and producer **Reeves Gabrels** (_David Bowie, Tin Machine_) on guitar and singer-
songwriter **Erica Smith** (Edwards’ accomplice in the NYC collective _Murderer’s
Row)_ and **Rembert Block** (frontwoman of Brooklyn cabaret pop band _Rembert & 
the Basic Goodness_) on backing vocals.  Lizzie adds, “This is why we do this.  
We all needed uplifting through music and I believe this video truly represents 
that.  It was a show I will never forget and one of the best we’ve ever had.”

**LIZZIE & THE MAKERS “Bottle”**

Lizzie says the idea for the “Bottle” track came about one night when, simply put,
she was “drunk and sad” and it popped in her head (in the live performance video,
she announces “This is a drinking song.”).  “I recorded it on my phone and sent 
it to **Greg** [**McMullen**, guitarist] and he wrote an arrangement to accompany
the melody.  The chorus is about being a woman in the rock/blues genre, in music,
and the world in general. The second line ‘_Tell Me How, Darlin How / Do You Make
It As A Woman Or A Girl_’ is a tiny nod to James Brown’s ‘It’s A Man’s Man’s World.'”
The raw, thunderous “Bottle” is preceded by three other tracks off _Dear Onda Wahl_,
unearthly spine-chilling single “[**Mojo Hand**](https://reybee.us13.list-manage.com/track/click?u=f67b4587af2b2ef9aa80ed984&id=5fa3704a6b&e=615f2b8493),”
the dark “[**Lover By Proxy**](https://reybee.us13.list-manage.com/track/click?u=f67b4587af2b2ef9aa80ed984&id=50de7cfa77&e=615f2b8493)”
and spellbinding “[**Mermaid**](https://reybee.us13.list-manage.com/track/click?u=f67b4587af2b2ef9aa80ed984&id=a68193f452&e=615f2b8493)”,
the first track to come off the collection.

Recorded at _**Mission Sound Recording**_ in Williamsburg, Brooklyn, LP _**Dear 
Onda Wahl**_ threads rootsy, shoegazey, psychedelic layers throughout its core. “
Though influenced by traditional music genres, we were also heavily influenced by
David Lynch and _Twin Peaks_ in writing this album. So there is always a little 
bit of old and familiar mixed with alien, fantasy and the unexpected in our music,”
remarks Lizzie.  Lizzie & The Makers’ debut album, _**Fire from the Heart of Man**_
was released in 2015, followed by the EP _**Meanwhile…**_ three years later. A 2017
concert collection _**Live at Rockwood Music Hall**_ conveyed The Makers’ famously
visceral stage show.

**Lizzie & The Makers** is singer/songwriter **Lizzie Edwards**, guitarist** Greg
McMullen, **bassist **Brett Bass **(_Gregg Allman, Bernie Worrell_), drummer **Steve
Williams** (_Sadé, Digable Planets, Keith Richards, David Byrne_) and keyboard player**
Rob Clores** (_Black Crowes, Jesse Malin_).  Lizzie is accompanied in the live “
Bottle” video by **Reeves Gabrels** on guitar and **Erica Smith** and **Rembert 
Block** on backing vocals.  _**Dear Onda Wahl**_ is available on all DSPs.
