Northern Michigan based Singer/Songwriter, Eliza Thorp, has been weaving stories and finding home in the warmth of the Mitten music community. She writes songs of home and the heart, with a palette of landscapes,sounds and changing seasons. In her youth she grew up listening and dancing in the kitchen with her Mom to the likes of Carol King, james taylor and lots of Simon and Garfunkel. Eliza often finds inspiration for her songs in her daily adventures outside with her dog, Holmes. You can sometimes hear the sound of her favorite trails woven within if you listen closely.

Thorp was most recently(2023) nominated as a Telluride bluegrass festival Troubadour.

Her 2019 Debut EP, “Queen of the Sea” garnered praise from John Sinkevics of Local Spins; “Pianist and singer Eliza Thorp’s debut is just such a collection, unfolding subtly and brilliantly, with gorgeous, thought-provoking lyrics that reflect her northern Michigan upbringing in Petoskey.” This Debut Album went on to receive recognition from the Independent Music Awards and received a nomination for best debut album.

Her album, “Stories We Told Along the Way” released in November ‘22, received 3 Jammies nominations.

A Berklee Alumni, with a voice married to the piano notes, Thorp has been known to bring the raucousness of a basement party to a reflective silence with only a few verses.
