Elizabeth Mitchell (musician)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Elizabeth Mitchell is an American singer, composer, and guitarist for the New York indie band Ida. While a student at Brown University, Mitchell performed as a duo with fellow class of 1990 classmate Lisa Loeb, called Liz and Lisa. Mitchell sung backup on Lisa Loeb's first hit, Stay (I Missed You), which topped the charts from the soundtrack to Reality Bites.

Mitchell later formed Ida with Dan Littleton, now her husband, and their first CD came out in 1994, to much indie acclaim. Ida released albums throughout the 1990s and is still together. In May of 2002, Mitchell released the children's album You Are My Flower with the band Ida, although the album currently alternately appears under her own name.
In December 2002, Mitchell released You Are My Sunshine with Littleton, although the album bears her name rather than that of the band Ida. In 2003, she and Loeb released a children's album called Catch the Moon. In 2006, Mitchell released her most recent children's album, You Are My Little Bird, on Smithsonian Folkways Recordings. She is the label's first children's music artist of the new century.
[edit] Trivia
- On track 4 of You Are My Little Bird, called "Little Bird Fly Through My Window", Mitchell misidentified the bird at the end as a Black-throated Blue Warbler. In fact, the bird singing is a Black-throated Green Warbler.
