Lizzy Hoyt is an award-winning Canadian vocalist and songwriter who also happens to rank among the top instrumentalists in the country. Her music has been recognized on both the national and international level. She won “Best Female Artist” at the 8th International Acoustic Music Awards (a contest that saw over 11 000 applicants), was a 2011 Canadian Folk Music Award Nominee for Traditional Singer of the Year and has been named a finalist in both the John Lennon Songwriting Contest and the USA Songwriting Competition.

Lizzy's latest folk CD "Home" features her as a Canadian ‘east-meets-west’ performer who combines the energetic and rhythmic fiddling from the Maritimes with country-folk songs from the west. Produced by Juno-award winner Jeremiah McDade, the album has received “glowering praise from a number of media outlets, with emphasis given to Hoyt’s burgeoning songwriting talent” - Johnathan Milke, The Fort Saskatchewan Record. The album’s interesting acoustic arrangements are delivered by some of Canada’s top folk musicians. It is currently receiving support from radio stations across the country.

“The standout for me was Hoyt’s wistful vocals on one of her own ballads, the title track “Home.” Singing, “As the plane lands, I’m welcomed by a quilt of coloured fields / Oh, the Alberta sky gives me space to breathe,” the track is a testament to Hoyt the songsmith. This album blends all of Hoyt’s skills together to prove she’s a true musician.”
