Nobody in this town loves a homecoming concert better than I do, and for one night only, LVNMUZIQ returns to Grand Rapids to perform with a full band at Rocky's Bar & Grill.
LVNMUZIQ (pronounced Lovin'Music) is fronted by singer/songwriter Liz Snavely, who I got to know a little bit better in a darkroom, of all places. Since we both shared a background in the visual arts, crossing paths while we developed film and printed negatives only made sense.
It was only later in life that I would learn of her musical talent. The beauty of LVNMUZIQ songwriting is that she takes us on a wonderful journey down her personal path that we also find familiar.
On the song "River from her 2008 album "Contemplating the Void," Liz bares her soul about stepping out in the unknown. It would go on to become one of her most requested songs.
Fans of her urban folk style will tell you how the music connects with them on so many levels. LVNMUZIQ drifts somewhere between the dusty road lyrics of Tracy Chapman, with the soulful luster of Toni Childs.
This is one of those rare shows that pops into town with very little fanfare but is no less equally important than a headliner with a glittering name on the marquee. Music that cuts to the soul is always worth seeking out in our community, so don't miss this rare opportunity to be LVNMUZIQ.
Admission: $5.(Opening for LVNMUZIQ is Ask Me When and Gabrial James)
