Liz Larin - Merry Wicked

Merry Wicked

Merry Wicked, her first independent album, was released in 1999. Lacking the support of a major label, it went nowhere on the national charts, but it opened doors in Detroit where audiences could directly experience her powerful ballads and rock anthems themselves. Liz also returned to her family and her musical roots, and her life no longer felt "surreal." The focus on music, and not on image, opened up a creative well-spring that would catapult her to the top of the Detroit music scene over the next five years.
