Hi, I'm Liz. I studied songwriting at Berklee College of Music, then spent many years touring and recording as a solo artist and with various bands and projects in Austin and San Francisco. 
I'm now based in Los Angeles, where I continue to develop new music and direct the student support program at a K-12 school. I have a master’s in educational therapy from Cal State Northridge, and find that these two paths, music and education, frequently inform  and overlap each other in unexpected ways.

Short bio:Liz Pappademas (”papp-ahh-DEE-muss”) is a Los Angeles-based pianist, singer/songwriter, and educator. An award-winning Berklee graduate, Liz’s solo shows and performances with her band, Maiden Names, offer resonant stories and classic arrangements that pay homage to her longtime influences -- criteron L.A. songwriters like Tom Waits, Randy Newman, and Joni Mitchell.&#38;nbsp;
Longer bio:
Liz Pappademas is a Los Angeles-based pianist, songwriter, and educator whose atmospheric, piano-driven art-pop earned recognition from NPR, LA Weekly, Electronic Musician, and the SF Bay Guardian. Born in a Checker cab in front of Lincoln Center in New York and raised in San Francisco, Pappademas studied songwriting at Berklee College of Music where she won a John Lennon Songwriting scholarship before spending years touring and recording in Austin, San Francisco and Los Angeles. Critics have praised her "masterful lyrics," her ability to invoke artists from Rauschenberg to Houdini with natural grace, and her Cat Power/Feist-esque vocals. Her albums incorporate field recordings from her home base in Los Angeles, vintage Chamberlins and Mellotrons, and collaborations with skilled players across genres and locales. Liz has focused on education in recent years, earning a master's degree from Cal State Northridge and directing student support programs at K-12 schools, but she continues write and record in her spare time, and still delievers infrequent, but sold-out shows that build upon her reputation for emotionally resonant songwriting and thoughtful arrangements.
Press:"Liz Pappademas's solo debut 11 Songs, is gorgeous and lush in a sparse sort of way. The uncluttered arrangements and production allow her songwriting, vocals, and piano playing to shine through." - Electronic Musician



"A beautifully downbeat collection of piano-driven art-pop tunes reflecting on broken hearts, bitterness and murder." - NPR
 



"Bearing the narrative agility of a class-act storyteller as well as the unhurried precision of a poet, Pappademas writes lyrics that carry impressive weight standing alone on the page. Delivered in her smoldering alto, evoking a cross between Jolie Holland and Fiona Apple, they burn with an almost disarming poignancy." - SF Bay Guardian






"The local singer-pianist and former member of the Austin band Hurts to Purr should be in the big leagues already. Her 2007 debut album, 11 Songs, was a mesmerizing assortment of passionate ballads that deftly combined Neil Young's gentle introspection with Fiona Apple's forceful piano pop. Even more impressive, Pappademas proved to be a masterful lyricist, playfully invoking Robert Rauschenberg, Jackson Pollock and Harry Houdini." - LA Weekly





"It also encompasses a wider range of pitches than many pop songs do; not lingering on a specific set of pitches adds to the somewhat freeform feeling of the song. In the way the melody is shaped (and perhaps also in the broken chord piano accompaniment), "Loma Prieta" seems to be toeing the line between pop song and art song." - harmonictremors

	Maiden NamesMaiden Names is the band I’ve been playing with for the last few years. It’s the same line-up we had on Rock Record.
We made a record and told no one about until people asked us. It was just supposed to be a demo, then it became more, and then less. It’s great for house cleaning, road tripping, catching up with old friends.&#38;nbsp;

Musically, the songs pull from punk touchstones like The Replacements and X, framed by the storytelling of artists like Tom Petty, Springsteen, and Fleetwood Mac.&#38;nbsp;It was recorded with producer Dan Long (Film School, Ferraby Lionheart, Spiral Stairs), who gave this gang of fools the tools to render their real sound more true. &#38;nbsp;

		<description>Here in the RiverAaron Kyle and I co-wrote a couple songs on this digital solo EP Aaron released in February 2022. You might recognize “Restless” from Rock Record.&#38;nbsp;We had a ton of fun making a video for “Restless” with friends Bryan and Ashley Kramer and Bird the Dog at the base of Mt. Whitney.&#38;nbsp;

The EP features several members of our band, Maiden Names, with the exception of engineer/drummer Joe Napolitano (Saint Motel, Vista Kicks, and Aaron’s former band Le Switch) subbing in for Brian Soika on drums and percussion. Recording the EP during the pandemic brought challenges. Chris Harrison (guitar) and Jonathan Price (bass) were unable to rehearse in person, so many songs were arranged on the spot at Barefoot Studios in Hollywood, where Here in the River and Rock Record&#38;nbsp;were recorded. Aaron and Joe would meet, masked, at the studio to work out sounds, Joe hitting record, running to the drum set, playing three takes, then listening back. Call it pandemic production.&#38;nbsp;

	The Birthday Project&#38;nbsp;
“One of my grad school professors once told me that creative people rarely finish their projects. In 2021, I set out to write and perform 12 original birthday songs and deliver them to friends on or before their DOB.This track (for Justin) features my talented friend and neighbor, Yohei Shikano, playing bass and significantly supporting my guitar stylings with his own. It was recorded at his place in Mount Washington on July 3rd, just as the birds were singing their evening songs and early fireworks started to pop through the canyon.
 Magic Curtain (Single) by Liz Pappademas
On December 4, 2021, I finished The Birthday Project and performed all 12 songs at an intimate gathering for birthday honorees and other close friends.This project brought me outside of my typical diary style of writing and allowed me to think about another person, who they are, what our relationship is, what it means to have your birthday in April or October or December, how it feels to share a birthday, and the marking of time as the pandemic marches on.The birthday deadlines also pushed me to learn and improve my skills on different instruments. I had never written anything on guitar or ukulele before I felt the dates looming and needed fresh ideas.It was a great experiment overall. Happy Birthday, everyone!” - Liz

		<description>Aeolian Bedforms&#38;nbsp;
Following the March 11, 2020 release of Rock Record, eclipsed by the COVID-19 pandemic shut-down that Friday, Los Angeles singer songwriter, pianist, and teacher Liz Pappademas returns to Baker and Pine Recordings with a fully improvised instrumental EP.Aeolian Bedforms is an exploratory, calming, six-song solo project. Composed, performed, and recorded by Pappademas, the song titles reference playgrounds from Pappademas’s childhood in San Francisco, except for the final track, written the day Mark Hollis of the band Talk Talk passed away.The album title speaks to the aerodynamic ripples arising spontaneously out of a two-way interaction between surface and air, and the irregular transfer of material between them. Aeolian bedforms are dunes, wave-like motions and shapes on Earth or elsewhere.
In Pappademas's own words: "The improvisations on Aeolian Bedforms were created by selecting a keyboard setting (which on the Korg SV1 are all round dials), or sitting at the piano, then thinking of a place, and recording what comes to mind. When one 'song' is finished, turn the dial or re-place your hands at random and see where that sound takes you.I wrote these songs thinking of the places I used to play, usually alone, when I was a little girl. San Francisco is a small city, so it’s easy for a young person to get around. I did not have to rely on my parents to drive me anywhere. I would listen to my Walkman while hiking through the foggy eucalyptus groves in the Presidio. I'd build forts and have conversations with myself, skateboard to the playgrounds, shoot free throws for hours, inventing imaginary teammates and rivalries. Childhood is a perpetual state of improvisation.Aeolian Bedforms (EP) by Liz Pappademas

Talk Talk's records continue to influence the way I listen to and write music. This album is a tribute to the music that calms us, that transports us to another time and place, that arises, spontaneously out of the sand and wind. Even though we are constrained by the pandemic, we can still travel in the mind."Aeolian Bedforms (EP) by Liz Pappademas
Pappademas considered developing the songs on Aeolian Bedforms into more structured pieces with additional instrumentation, but decided to release them to the world as is, with the hope that Rock Record would sustain any listeners seeking a more polished product. For fans suspicious of this new direction, Pappademas's next piano/vocal album, Love Premiere, will be released in 2021.Released on 11/6/20 (a Bandcamp Friday), all proceeds from this EP will be donated to Sunrise Movement, which aims to stop climate change and create millions of good jobs in the process.

“Magestic. A dreamy-breezy confession ... lit up with contrails of Neil Young–style electric guitar.” - LA Weekly“A robust, fully formed Americana-rock album.” - Buzzbands LARock Record by Liz Pappademas


“I was listening to a lot of Led Zeppelin and hiding out in a rented room in a 1920s house in the Hollywood Hills. I hadn’t performed in many years and definitely had not considered starting a band, much less making a new record. 
The piano was too big for my room so it lived in the garage, which had 12-inch cement walls and could be accessed via a brick passageway and a wooden ladder just outside my room. The Bunker. I would write down there with the paint cans and the old deck chairs, secluded from the world. 
I had been out of the scene for several years, going to grad school, working as a learning specialist, still writing but focused on other things. &#38;nbsp;&#60;img width="906" height="683" width_o="906" height_o="683" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/afab2bef1e0a9bfe7c3990339c46e7557f1b97cd8884291bcb0b93b30cc9b0f9/IMG_5361.JPG" data-mid="60711502" border="0"  src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/906/i/afab2bef1e0a9bfe7c3990339c46e7557f1b97cd8884291bcb0b93b30cc9b0f9/IMG_5361.JPG" /&#62;

After Aaron and I ran into each other at a party and discussed the aforementioned Led Zeppelin obsession, we started working together at The Bunker, playing Dwight Yoakam and Leon Russell songs. He also shared some unfinished songs he’d been working on. I couldn’t help but try to finish them. I saw those songs as an exercise, stuff he’d perform with his band. I’d never cowritten anything unless under instruction to do so from my Berklee professors, but it felt safer and like less of a commitment writing something for him than to share my own work.

L to R: Aaron Kyle (guitar), Jonathan Price (bass), Brian Soika (drums)Dwight and Leon were the gateway. Pretty soon, Aaron invited (guitar player) Chris Harrison over to the garage to play and it sounded too good not to get a bass player and drummer, so we recruited Brian Soika (drums) and Jonathan Price (bass). For New Year’s Eve 2017 we learned 30 songs by everyone who had passed that year. Tom Petty, Fats Domino, Glenn Campbell, Walter Becker. It was a crash course in rock and a great way for us to get to know each. Aaron convinced me to play a few of the songs we’d been working on and pretty soon we were meeting with Joe Napolitano who had just moved in to Barefoot Studios in Hollywood.

The famous Crystal Sound comic.
 
Barefoot was originally the old Crystal Sound where Stevie Wonder recorded “Talking Book” and “Songs in the Key of Life” and “Hotter Than July”. I got to play his nine-foot Yamaha grand piano. It was pretty special. I also got to play vibraphone on the last track of the record, which was pretty fun and something I’d never done before. So much of the music that has been my go-to from the start was all made in this twelve-block radius in Hollywood. All these studios, warehouse type buildings that look like nothing from the street, were making huge singles and seminal albums: Neil Young, Joni Mitchell, Fleetwood Mac, even Zeppelin came through. And now here we were in this new era for Barefoot. I’m really proud to say that this record was the first full-length finished for Studio B.

We named it Rock Record to signify the departure from my more singer-songwriter folk music from ten years ago, and as a thank you to the rock music that helped me through some pretty dark times coming off of Television City and shifting gears around education and music. As much as I tried to stay quiet and hidden, sometimes you just need that catharsis that comes from turning up and playing with a band.&#38;nbsp;There’s a sense of risk to this music and a sense of urgency. The doors are wide open, the unknown beckons, and summer won’t wait another hour.
