Liz Hogg w/ Jake Stack

American guitarist and composer Liz Hogg has captured attention with her dynamic and original approach, touring eleven countries and performing at prestigious venues like Carnegie Hall and Casa da Musica. Critics have lauded her as “uniquely her own, writing independent music that doesn’t reflect the trends” (I Heart Noise), while her playing is praised as “strong, precise, and powerful” (Bushwick Music Daily), featuring a “more distinctive and original approach that includes quickly-strummed chords, chiming arpeggios, and rapid-fire picking” (Geoff Cabin). An award-winning musician who was the first American to win a performance fellowship at the Lanciano International Guitar Festival in Italy, Hogg is a prolific artist with nine full-length albums and a diverse repertoire–from premiering her mostly-eclectic works to performing on a variety of instruments like mandolin and theorbo, with her recordings garnering reviews from The New York Times and NME. Jake Stack is a singer-songwriter whose journey through life has been as dynamic as his music. Growing up, Jake and his friends started a punk rock garage band (The Unincorporated) while simultaneously pursuing his passion for hockey, playing as a goaltender for teams throughout the country. When his hockey career ended, Jake found himself drawn towards another lifelong passion: music. Transitioning from the rink to the stage, Jake dedicated himself to honing his craft as a musician.
