Virtuosity Meets Pop
Ten years ago, Alexandria native Elizabeth Eckert was a serious student at DC's Levine School of Music. "My first love was classical music," said Eckert, "I never wanted to do anything else." As a scholarship student at the prestigious Indiana University School of Music, Eckert's performances came to include The Kennedy Center, The Smithsonian, and Carnegie Hall.
But a tragic wrist injury altered Eckert's course. "I had to have extensive surgery on my left arm, and my hopes of a classical piano career were gone. I started writing songs as a way to ease the pain. it was like therapy for me," she remembered. Within a few months of graduating, Eckert moved to Nashville to become a songwriter.
Elizabeth's music may remind you a little of Norah Jones, Sara Bareilles and Regina Spektor, but she is her own artist, with her own voice. Her beautifully rendered pop songs are emotional and intimate and mostly about love. Though she makes it look effortless, it obviously took a lot of hard work and determination to get to this point in her life. Succinctly put in the lyric of her song "Bloomington" Elizabeth says, " I got educated."
