Elizabeth Cook's Revival: 'Exodus of Venus' - Live at the Hotel Cafe on June 7th

Elizabeth Cook, the bold and brilliant Nashville singer-songwriter and country music outlaw, will release 'Exodus of Venus' June 17 (Agent Love Records/Thirty Tigers), her first album since 2010's lauded 'Welder.' The eleven new original songs represent a knife-sharp take on heartache and hardship that's cathartic and visceral, a transcendent reflection on hard times, survival, and rebirth. She will play LA for the first time in five years on June 7, at The Hotel Cafe.

NPR Music just deemed Elizabeth a "treasure" of the Americana scene and this album is on Rolling Stone Country's most anticipated 2016 albums list. "Listening to this batch of 11 new songs, it's as if she's emerged from a dark night of the soul and felt the need to push against the limits of her expression" says NPR.

Elizabeth Cook was introduced to the musical life at an early age - her mother and father performed in honky-tonks in Florida. She has collaborated with a who's who of singer-songwriters: John Prine, Jason Isbell, Steve Earle, Todd Snider, Rodney Crowell, Buddy Miller and Dwight Yoakam.

She appeared on The Late Show with David Letterman five times, performed over 400 times on the Grand Ole Opry, was a 4-time Americana Awards nominee in 2010 and voices a character on Adult Swim's Squidbillies. Cook also hosts a beloved radio show on SiriusXM's Outlaw Country channel, called Apron Strings, an outlet that affords the freedom play music she loves and speak her mind.
