Liz Ryder

San Francisco based folk singer-songwriter and multi-instrumentalist Liz Ryder is a British native whose style comes from many places between the Long Mynd and the golden hills of California. Rooted in traditional English folk, she has a passion for rendering the old with a mind for the new. Accompanying herself with fingerstyle guitar, Celtic bouzouki, banjo, and sometimes folk harp, she plays both traditional and self-penned music that is of a dynamic and honest nature. Ryder has opened for greats like Richard Thompson and Eric Taylor, and played main stages at folk festivals and venues in the UK and US. She will release her 4th studio album Butterflies and Thieves in December 2015.
