Without a doubt, Elisabeth Corrin Maurus is one of the most undersung forces in the American songwriter scene.

The 40-year-old better known as Lissie has been at it for a decade-and-a-half, and made her debut via Nettwerk in 2007 before breaking out with her 2009 Fat Possum EP Why You Runnin’ where she expanded on a penchant for crafting dusty folk-rock by mixing in even more sepia-toned roots influences along with hints of poppier influences like Britney Spears plus old school favorites like Patsy Cline.

While Lissie is mega-popular in the U.K., catching her inside intimate spaces like The Attic is a treat for stateside fans. Tickets to see Lissie play The Attic at Rock Brothers Brewing in Ybor City on Thursday, March 23 are still available and start at $40.
