Eliza Rickman – The Sentient Bean – 11/29/12

There is always a hint of menace and reservoirs of force haunting the corners of Eliza Rickman’s voice, whatever register it occupies. Her presence on stage—whether she wears flowers in her hair, or stuffed birds; whether she plays a toy piano or a grand piano—is an enveloping, soft darkness, impossible to ignore.

“Eliza’s beautifully unusual voice, accompanied only by the unique tones of a toy piano, is mesmerizing … absolutely exquisite.” – Renee Trinca, President, Schoenhut Piano Company
