Liz Snavely: An 'Uncommon' Performer
"I don't write every day, but I think every day, I live every day—and that's part of the writing process."
An Interview With Artist LVNMUZIQ
“It’s sad to me to see so many people live their entire lives in a job that they absolutely can’t stand. I was that person and I knew I needed to make a radical change. I needed to find my soul.”
Michigan singer-songwriter bares souls, soles during concerts
"I'm pretty much willing to take any risk you can throw at me," she said."It's very rewarding when it works. It's still rewarding when it doesn't work too."
Folk with an edge: Grand Rapids' LVNMUZIQ is not home for the holidays
"I don't condone not paying a house payment like I did for a year and a half, but I do condone pursuing your dream."
A True Singer-Songwriter
"LVNMUZIQ (Liz Snavely "in real life") is AMAZING--a TRUE singer-songwriter. Her songs are intense--whether she's singing about lust, the past, love, a crush, or 9/11, she has an incredible communion with language and music, literally touching everyone's souls that have heard her."
Simply . . . I'm addicted!
"Liz is full of magic with her fingertips working the strings and her toes tappin' her way into our hearts. Even more stunning in person and full of energy that lives on even after the show is over. Simply...I'm addicted and can't wait for the next time!"

"Amazingly entertaining and something that the entire room full of people can enjoy! Your music takes me to a different place, somewhere that seems like its so peaceful, so deep, so comforting! The quality of your sound is as good as anyone out there! Can't wait to have you play live for our Annual House of David Museum Bash!! Have a fun summer, and keep playing those beautiful tunes!!!"
Stellar! - CD Review of "Contemplating the Void"
"This CD is AMAZING! Is displays the tremendous growth of LVNMUZIQ from thier previous but yet still fabulous Orange Kiss CD. The song are delightfully haunting as I find them replay in my head constantly, and I can play the CD over and over again straight through and never tire of it. Definatly a favorite in my rather large collection of independant singer-songwriter music."
Great CD - CD Review of "Orange Kiss"
"It's funny that this site recommends Janis Ian's Revenge.. that's actually what this CD reminds me of.. (not sure why).. Great CD, and ordering was simple, came in time.. Perfect Experience.."
Music From The Heart - CD Review of "Orange Kiss"

Excuse Me While I Play It Again - CD Review of "Contemplating the Void"
"Liz's latest CD is jaw-dropping good. The mix is perfect, clear and cool. Contemplating the Void is so moving...it does what too few CD's do these days; makes you believe that everything is gonna be alright."
Can't Stop Listening - CD Review of "Contemplating the Void"
"Can't stop listening to it! Very happy with my CD. Best CD I've purchased in a long, long time."
Get Down With Liz - CD Review of "Orange Kiss"
"With such a beautiful, unique voice both lyrically and musically, you can not go wrong with this album. If you buy this record you should get her second CD too. This is great music to dance too, make love too, or remember a lost love. It would be one of your greatest mistakes and regrets in life not to know Liz’s music."
Public events staged during leadership, activism conference
"LVNMUZIQ is the brain child of singer-songwriter Liz Snavely of Grand Rapids, Michigan."
Chicago Free Press - CD Review for "Contemplating the Void"
"Urban folk is the operative phrase when it comes to describing the music of LVNMUZIQ. Liz Snavely (a.k.a. LVNMUZIQ) has a distinct vocal sound that can warm up the chilliest spring morning and her songs have a way of working their way under your skin and making themselves a part of your being. "River," on which she is joined by violinist Steph DeJong, has a comforting flow, and the appearance of a harmonica on "Disappear" is a welcome addition. Snavely makes the void worth contemplating on "Contemplating the Void" and makes "Growing Pains" a painless experience."
Local Spins - CD Review for "Contemplating the Void"
"LVNMUZIQ released their 2nd studio CD, "Contemplating the Void" in March of 2008. A cross between Tracy Chapman and Grant Lee Phillips, urban-folk singer-songwriter Liz Snavely, aka LVNMUZIQ, creates compelling, sometimes introspective, sometimes fiery acoustic nuggets on her second full-length CD. A powerful talent."
