Lissie Maurus.

Song List

  • "Little Lovin'"
  • "Wedding Bells"

November 2, 2009Singer-songwriter Lissie Maurus was born and raised in eastern Illinois, right beside the Mississippi River. The nature-loving, solitude-seeking Midwesterner began writing music in high school and quickly began performing at coffee shops and open mics.

Now residing in California, Maurus is about to release her debut, the Why You Runnin' EP, which provides a five-song introduction to her bluesy folk. Shifting from upbeat tunes to soft-spoken country, hints of '60s soul and subtle pop, Maurus' sweet and rustic voice ties each track together seamlessly. The EP is scheduled for release on Nov. 10.
