Hailed by Billboard Magazine as a “singer’s singer” Liz Queler has performed on the stages of Carnegie Hall, the Newport Folk Festival, and with the Dallas Symphony. Daughter of renowned opera conductor Eve Queler, Liz has staked her claim in other musical genres with six critically acclaimed CDs of original folk-rock and Americana, as well as a CD of jazz standards. A three-time Grammy nominee for her work with children’s artist Brady Rymer and The Little Band That Could, Liz has shared the stage with folk icons Richie Havens, Janis Ian, and Jessie Winchester among many others. Her CD The Edna Project set 21 poems by Edna St Vincent Millay to music. With compositions by both Liz and her husband, Broadway conductor Seth Farber, this song cycle inspired the theater piece Still Will Be Heard for which Liz wrote the book.
Liz has composed for TV and worked extensively as a studio singer, including national jingles, film scores for The Little Mermaid, Barney’s Great Adventure, and the PBS American Masters’ biography on Lucille Ball for which she sang “My Funny Valentine.” As an instrumentalist she played Leonard Bernstein’s Mass with The Dallas Symphony, and in the pits of the Off-Broadway shows 10 Million Miles and The Great Unknown. Liz teaches voice, guitar, and songwriting. In 2016 she founded Urban Garage, a free monthly teen open mic and guided jam.
