The tracks on " AudioBioGraphical " find Liz front & center as a standout voice within an ever-changing palette of textures, instruments, loops & moods. Liz breaks new ground in this remarkable album moving effortlessly through & around genres.    Along with writing and performing the tracks that make up "AudioBioGraphical ", Liz got her fingers dirty behind the scenes by participating in the engineering & production facets, sometimes wholly --sometimes a collaborative effort. 
Notable guest musicians grace this effort including Gary Shider of Parliament Funkadelic with his soulful vocal contribution to "Ask ".   Soma Mestizo's Christianne Leach is featured on the first track "Love You" as well as Crisis Car's Frank Spadafora adding vocals to the serene yet disturbing "Souvenir," which also features New Invisible Joy's Mike Gaydos with his signature guitar landscape.

Core musicians on the album include Ford Thurston, Erik Cirelli and Chris Lohr (The Yards) on electric guitars with drummers Matt Vucic and Frank Marcello .   Also, Megan Williams and Weldon Anderson fuse on violin and upright double bass.   Mike Speranzo adds a solid variety of sounds and feels at times verging on hip-hop with his tasty guitar, bass, banjo and programming. Speranzo took the helm on the production of "Monster" and "Ask" along with Mr. Smalls' producer/engineer Larry Luther (Anti-Flag, 50 Cent, Black Eyed Peas, Keller Williams, Ryan Adams).   The stunning close of the album feature's Liz's twin sister, Katie Kelly , on the a capella duet "Evening Prayer" that they have been performing together since the age of four.

The "Liz Berlin -Live" Shows

Mr. Smalls Funhouse 1-28-99
This show took place at the old Mr. Smalls Funhouse, the recording studio that my partners & I built and ran for 5 years, starting in ‘96. Our first location was in a 5,000 square foot warehouse that we had made into a studio by building 4 isolated tracking rooms on one end and a stage at the other. It held about 100 people for the live-recording shows. This was the first time that Megan, Weldon & I ever played together publicly. The energy was new & fresh, and I couldn’t believe how beautiful my songs were with a string section. Not just any string section though. Megan & Weldon were both classically trained string players on the road to “professional” orchestra positions who decided to break off from that course to play original music. In my opinion this creates the best of both worlds in a musician, because they have the chops and technique to be really solid on their instrument, but also the passion and freedom to improvise and create (which is rare in a classically trained musician). The way the wove their string lines together with my songs was simply magical to me. It was my first attempt at putting together a “band” other than Rusted Root, and I had never experienced having musicians put so much love and passion into my music before. It meant so much to me.

Mr. Smalls Theatre 12-20-02
This was the first annual “MerryKrishnaChannuKawanzaa” show that I put together with a great circus-jazz artist from Pittsburgh named Phat Man Dee. The show took place in the (then very new) Mr. Smalls Theatre, which is actually an 18th century catholic church that we renovated into a concert hall. We recorded it multi-track to one of the studios in the rectory house as well as filmed it with our 3-camera soundstage system. It was my first time performing on that stage, after all of the work that had gone into building and decorating it. It was a proud and fulfilling night. My band was one incarnation of “The Liz Berlin Band” with special guest Theo on the beautiful Greek instrument, the Oud. Theo was one of the most recent musicians to join me. I found his playing mesmerizing and an amazing addition to our music.

Mr. Smalls Theatre 1-17-03
This show was also recorded & filmed at Mr. Smalls Theatre. We played with “Isabella” which was Jenn Wertz’s band at the time. It was the second performance with the musicians who were the core of “TheLizBerlinBand”. The rhythm section, Mike & Shaggy, a great bass & drums duo (who played in many other great bands together) held it down for me in the best way I had ever known. Erik had been playing with me for a couple of years before I put the band together, so he had become very intimate with the songs and could anticipate and support them in very powerful ways. Anthony was the newest musician to join us, and his vocals and percussion were the perfect addition.
