2012 Is Ending? Happy Holidays! SHOW on JAN 18th 2013, Reviews +

Closing out this year on a mixed but melancholy mood. This time of year creates different emotions in everyone especially with the recent tragedy in Connecticut. It's a time of reflection and a chance to express our gratitude for all that we have. I am reminded of many of us who are not as fortunate. Holidays can be even more troubling knowing that special someone will not be joining your family. I am saddened thinking about the children that were lost recently to violence here in the USA. Many of you have given some time sending prayers and healing thoughts to the families in need. I ask you to extend these feelings to the numerous suffering people worldwide. May we be committed to the lives we lead with love and appreciation for the simple things.

"messin with a fool"
"Eliza Neals might be known to some as “the Detroit Diva” but her music is L.A.-ready! Neals states: "L.A. is thirteen counties wrapped up into one city, not one part is the same. Sort of like my music, its sound and my voice... gritty-sweet-dangerous-n-curvy blues rock."

I also received a great review from Wasser-Prawda in May 2012, you will need to translate but here is a portion:
Eliza Neals “The Detroit Diva” is the name: This Diva has claws and sharp teeth… Eliza Neals is really not the faint-hearted would-be pop chick, presented to us on the talent shows again and again. She is a rock singer with associated roots in blues and soul.
THANK YOU for RECOGNIZING DETROIT ROCK-n-BLUES!

I was asked by my cool friend Kenny Olson the Nashville Based, Detroit Hometown Unreal Guitarist to a NY gig and of-course I said YES! Kenny and I shared the stage with a friend and musician AJ who was killed over music. Kenny told me "AJ was here with us tonight" and I felt him. We performed a few songs at Iridium, but Stevie's "Superstition" was the one we performed at AJ's memorial 'Lovefest.' Thank you Kenny, I look forward to gigging with you again soon.

REVIEWS
“This album of “Stiletto Blues” first came out in January, but it keeps finding itself back in the news and for a very good reason… Neals good looks, husky sultry growl, and “Stiletto Blues” stage presence, as well as world class songs are the reason this one keeps finding new spots on the various blues, R&B and rock stations.”  

 “Neals was able to make this album a great reflection of her influences… Neals’ soulful voice rings out on the first track, “Misery.”… “Messin With A Fool” is a solid album and a great start for Eliza Neals.” Blues Rock Review October 2012

Ten Months after the release of "messin with a fool" were still getting great reviews thank you! We worked hard on the album so we appreciate the time taken to write!
