Artist Biography

Guest Author: Kari Saunders

Lizzy McAlpine was a budding songwriter during her middle school years in the Philadelphia suburbs. She studied at Boston’s Berklee College of Music where she began a streaming concert series on Instagram, #BerkleeAtHome, near the start of the COVID-19 pandemic. She stepped away her junior year to pursue her music full-time, and she’s been achieving critical and commercial success since.

Her signature ethereal vocals mix with heavier instrumentation on her debut album, Give Me a Minute, and sophomore album, Five Seconds Flat.

The chorus of McAlpine’s “ceilings” spun up a TikTok trend so pervasive that the song snippet has been used nearly 700K times. Her collaborations include Noah Kahan and Niall Horan, with FINNEAS and Jacob Collier featuring on her sophomore album.

In two weeks McAlpine is set to release her third album, Older, so be sure to give it a listen before heading to her set at Roo!
