"It's Not A Product. It Should Be A Feeling." — Lizzie Esau | find your frequency

Lizzie Esau has gone from open mics in the Northeast to Radio One’s Big Weekend and Glastonbury. No label. No viral moment. Just great music, relentless live shows, and zero-hour jobs to keep it all going.

In this episode, Lizzie talks about why live built her community more than social ever did, how she deals with nerves and the moments her mind wanders on stage, what happened when she played to a man and his dog in Middlesbrough, and the wall analogy every artist who feels stuck needs to hear.
