When
Eliza Doyle’s car broke down in Nashville in 2015, she found herself
happily stuck in Music City. The venerable banjo player and
singer/songwriter from Saskatchewan had stopped in to see a festival and
ended up enjoying an extended stay, playing in bars and meeting all
manner of talented musicians. Having been on sabbatical to follow her
muse anyway, it seemed like fate urging her to keep on the well-worn
path to musical fulfillment.
Doyle
has had a fifteen-year career in groups, as a solo artist, and as a
professional session musician, playing banjo, singing, with not only the
banjo, but with guitar, dobro and mandolin. She has released nine
full-length albums, won numerous awards, and toured North America and
Europe. Doyle has been a regional finalist in CBC’s Searchlight Canada
competition and past winner of Bell Media’s contest, The Next Big Thing.
On her new album It Ain’t What It Seems
Doyle’s strong, but wonderfully frayed voice belts out captivating
tunes and harmonies. She has the versatility to go from beautiful and
melodious songs, to a full on boot stompin’ party scene. With her
charismatic high energy performance, combined with outstanding claw
hammer banjo, everything about Eliza Doyle’s music rings of an
authenticity that takes you straight to the beating heart of folk and
bluegrass music.
