Details:
Liz Rognes is a singer/songwriter and multi-genre artist based in Saint Paul, MN. She grew up in rural Iowa, surrounded by cornfields, prairie, and her fatherâs eccentric love for miniature animals. Santa brought her a piano at the age of two, and she has been playing ever since. Classically trained as a soprano, she started writing and singing folk songs in college and fell in in love with the idea of singing about her trouble. She regularly sings her heart out for measly tips, so once in a while she buys a lottery ticket, just in case. She has a B.A. in Music, 2005, and is currently working on the lucrative task of attaining an MFA in creative writing.

Recorded in January 2009, Red Flags (Deep Sea Productions) is Liz Rognesâ first full-length album. She worked closely with her producer and friend Dan Zamzow to create a body of work outlining her unsparingly honest songs. The album represents a unique blend of their musical styles utilizing an array of makeshift percussion, rich string arrangements and an organic approach to vocal harmony. Their collaborative energy is a steady thread throughout the recordings, presenting interesting lyricism that ranges from flirtatious to introspective.
