"There’s a feline quality about Denise Barbarita’s music, something wonderfully animalistic in the best sense of the word." -Kevan Breitinger, Reviewer, Indie-Music.com  (Sept. 2005, C&C review)

Denise Barbarita is a superior Rock chick, one who can take a stage and the audience will immediatly shut up. She’s a bad-ass, lit match that’s taking the indie music industry at full storm and won’t stop ‘til she’s unpluggged. Don’t believe me? Check it out for yourself...Denise is my monthly editor’s pick for July 2005 -Heather Corcoran, Reviewer, CoffeehouseTour.com  (July 2005, C&C review)

“Soothing while seething, the siren sounds sweet before she smashes your boat to pieces. This is how I would sum up the sound of Denise Barbarita.”- Nikki Chipman, NorthEast In-Tune Magazine

10pm- Liza Warrior Princess
Genre: Folk, Singer-Songwriter
For fans of: Johnny Cash, Lana Del Ray, Vladimir Nabokov, Spike Jonze, and Patsy Cline

Liza Warrior Princess is a modern folk singer-songwriter based in Gowanus, but originally hailing from Detroit, Michigan.  Her fiery vocal stylings mix the bluesy grit of her dystopian hometownwith the spooky dissonance of her Slavic motherland. With an eye for the absurd in the modern tech landscape, her lyrics explore the numerous ways we embrace and yet fear our iPhones and (oh yes) our OKCupid profiles. Unlike recent big acts in the world of folk, she refuses to wear suspenders and/or pretend it is 1890.
