I choose the autoharp because it made songwriting easier. Once again, I get to share my songs with the California Autoharp Gathering. It was 1997. My last rock band broke up. I had a guitarist who was writing MUCH better songs than I was. It was time for a change. I borrowed an autoharp from my dad when I first went off to college. I asked for it because of the novelty of the instrument. It was different. But I never played it until my band broke up. Initially, I just decided to learn to play the autoharp. I picked up a songbook by Meg Peterson. I started by learning strum patterns. I started playing music because I wanted to be a songwriter. Every time I learned a new strum pattern, I wrote a song. That's how it all started. What was fascinating was how easy it was to write songs with the autoharp. There's so much depth to the instrument, five octaves. There's layer upon layer of sound there. Writing melodies was a breeze. Five months later, I recorded my very first album Geography, under the name Ichabod Zeuss. I was still pursuing music as an acoustic, indie alt-rocker. However, it wasn't until 1999 when I started the Brobdingnagian Bards with Andrew McKee that I began writing songs that I thought were good. Over twenty years later and I am honored to take my autoharp and much better songwriting skills back to the California Autoharp Gathering in 2019. I hope to see you there! #autoharp #autoharpmusic #cag #cag2019 #californiaautoharpgathering #brobdingnagianbards #megpeterson #celtfather #songwriter #howigotstarted #originstory (at Dunlap, California) https://www.instagram.com/p/BpRqAfonqr9/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=14wfx49b0aklj

FRIENDS! For the remainder of 2017, I will be laying low and preparing for several exciting TBA items in 2018. In the mean time, I just wanted to send out a #BIGthankyou. 2017 was a pivotal year for me personally and professionally and I am so thankful for all the wonderful souls, music makers, party shakers, day trippers and night mixers who I had the pleasure of meeting along the way! #48shows in 8 months and only 3 were in my hometown; that's a lot of #hospitality for which I am supremely thankful. #Music is everything to me; #thankyou so much for #listening and giving me a platform upon which to share my #passion. I hope you who are reading this know how much I #love you all and #appreciate your continued support. Wishing everyone much #peace and #love and quiet #introspection over the next few months. See you in #2018 . xx-Elizabeth🙏🏼✌🏼🙌🏼🎼 #elizabethdevlinmusic #elizabethdevlin #thankyousomuch #manythanks #danka #merci #gracias #autoharpmusicrocks #autoharpmusic #autoharp #autoheart #gratitude #gratefulheart

The #commuterbus taking me to #Paris is a #mercedesbenz. #indie #musician #baller here; #HUZZAH! #Basel was insanely good. The show at #CarambolageBar was perfect as were our hosts! Special thanks to Joel, Julia and Liam for dinner and hospitality🙏🏼. The after party was off the hook, an outdoor, underground protest #rave where @boohoomusic and I danced the night away under the highway by the old train tracks. Taking a few days off now to visit friends in Paris; next show Sept 21 at Les Bal des Fringants, #Lyon #France. xx-E . .
