It is with great pleasure to have Eliza Gilkyson play the Maze once again. She is possibly Austin’s finest and is one of only a few great artists whose songwriting talent gets stronger and stronger with every new record. This is evidenced by her first live album, “Your Town Tonight”, which she recorded in the splendid Cactus Café in her home town of Austin, Texas. She continues to produce music of the highest quality and her latest CD ‘Beautiful World’ is the perfect example of how great she truly is.
“Gilkyson has raised the composing bar to a whole new level.” - FolkWax
"As an album, "Beautiful World" features so many elements that have made Gilkyson's 21st century body of work so compelling: softness, self-inventory, a prayer for mercy, psychological depth...The breadth of the album's tone is impressive." - Austin American-Statesman
