Buffalo's Brightest Basher

Twenty-seven-year-old Liz Holland is a classically trained percussionist who's not afraid to break a sweat. Her powerful and technical kit work can be heard on a variety of cutting-edge projects. Last year, Liz toured throughout the nation in support of alt-rockers The Raven Society's 2005 release, Open Letters To No One. And keep your eyes open for a new disc and subsequent tour from Momentov, an electronic/experimental duo featuring Liz with The Raven Society's bassist, Veronica Alvarez.

In addition to her drumset accolades, Liz gave the Buffalo-area premier of Nebojsa Zivkovic's cutting-edge marimba solo, "Uneven Souls," in 1999. She was also chosen to lead the quint section of the 1994 World University Games marching band.

Liz maintains a small roster of students, and is frequently sought after for local recordings and orchestral settings.
