Tonight, the lovely and talented Lizzy Ross is again playing in Saxapahaw at The Haw River Ballroom‘s gorgeous venue. She will be the opening act for tonight’s performance by Sarah Jarosz. They are expecting a near capacity crowd, and we are looking forward to being among them. It seems like a good time to pull these photos out of the archive. A few month’s ago, Lizzy Ross threw a CD Release Party shebang at the Haw River Ballroom, complete with pig pickin’.

Big Something opened up the evening’s festivities. Named Home Grown Music Network’s 2010 “New Band of the Year”, they describe their music as alternative rock funk, fit for the future, featuring crystalline synths, wailing saxes, and guitars that shred established musical boundaries.

We have had the pleasure of calling Liz a friend for several years now and it has been amazing to watch her really grow into her stage presence and musical talent. We were impressed the very first time we heard her sing and continue to be amazed every time we see her. Her live shows are better and better.

Lizzy Ross called in her talented musical friends and assembled a supergroup of performers to delight the crowd.
