Lizz Vega believes in the power of self-expression and the freedom it brings. Once disconnected from music and her emotions, she saw vulnerability as weakness and strength as silence. But through music, she found her voice realizing that expression is not a burden, but a right. The harp, her chosen instrument, became a sacred tool a way to communicate with higher power and translate emotion into healing sound. Her mission is to remind others that believing in yourself begins with allowing yourself to feel. Through her art, Lizz creates space for authenticity, reminding us that freedom comes in many forms music, dance, love and that we all have the right to become who we truly are.
------------------------
DEFRANCE
This group will be performing both days of Byrdfest 31 with one show being all songs by ZZ TOP and the other show being a mix of original music and an assortment of cover tunes.
deFrance formed from the muddy banks of the Ouachita River in the vest pocket town of Camden, Arkansas. Called the “hardest working band in Arkansas,” the band has racked up more than 600 shows since forming in 2015. deFrance now calls Little Rock, Arkansas, home but these road warriors carry their modern take on classic rock & roll across the world, having performed shows at legendary international venues as well as earning the respect of fans locally, with two of their songs being selected for use in Arkansas state tourism commercials. The band’s technical prowess and deliverance of a truly pure rock & roll sound has been recognized with support opportunities for Foghat, Bon Jovi, Deep Purple, ZZ Top, Whiskey Myers, Robert Randolph, Shooter Jennings, Morris Day & The Time, Kenny Wayne Shepherd, and Living Colour, among others.
