Mark your calendar! Local favorite Elizabeth Lorrey is coming to rock the PCA stage on November 8!

Lorrey is a musician, songwriter, producer, and recording engineer from Pepperell. Said Pulse Magazine’s Jennifer Russo, "She stopped me in my tracks with one of the most pure and warm voices I have ever heard..." Lorrey has released two CDs of original music and is working on a third, while performing regularly throughout New England. Her sound is a dark-roasted blend of edgy, intense acoustic rock: intelligent, provocative lyrics, fused to a commanding guitar style. She delivers her darkly compelling songs in a way that immediately connects with the audience, converting casual listeners into loyal new fans with every performance. Lorrey performs regularly throughout New England, in venues large and small, from Portland (ME) to Providence (RI), with occasional forays to North Carolina, Michigan and the Southwestern U.S. She produced a successful online show, “The Sunday Nightcap,” which ‘aired’ the first Sunday of every month on “Concert Window,” performing songs and chatting with viewers. She has shared the stage with Amy Ray (Indigo Girls), Suzanne Vega, Catie Curtis, and many more...
