As the daughter of folk legends Martin Carthy & Norma Waterson, Eliza grew up immersed in the world of traditional music.
Beloved of staunch traditionalists and iconoclasts alike, Eliza’s music effortlessly crosses boundaries of genre and style. Whether solo or fronting a big band, performing a centuries-old ballad or a self-written song, her powerful, nuanced voice, fiercely beautiful fiddle-playing, and mesmerizing performances have influenced a whole generation of young musicians.
Describing herself simply as a modern English musician, she is one of the most impressive, engaging, and important performers of her generation.
