"LVNMUZIQ released their 2nd studio CD, "Contemplating the Void" in March of 2008. "A cross between Tracy Chapman and Grant Lee Phillips, urban-folk singer-songwriter Liz Snavely, aka LVNMUZIQ, creates compelling, sometimes introspective, sometimes fiery acoustic nuggets on her second full-length CD. A powerful talent." (John Sinkevics - The Grand Rapids Press)
