Lizzie Cahalin
In December 2024, Lizzie graduated from East Tennessee State University with a degree in Bluegrass, Old-Time, and Roots Music Studies. There, she had the privilege of studying under phenomenal musicians such as Wyatt Rice, Tim Stafford, Kalia Yeagle, Dan Boner, and Brittany Haas. As a member of the ETSU Bluegrass Pride Band, she played guitar and sang both melody and harmony, getting the chance to share the stage with legendary musicians such as Rhonda Vincent, Ricky Skaggs, and Becky Buller. With the ETSU Bluegrass Pride Band, Lizzie traveled and performed in Bermuda, the Bahamas, Arizona, and Florida, gaining invaluable experience with her extremely talented peers as part of this ambassador band.
Lizzie’s professional work also includes performing internationally and in the U.S. beyond her ETSU studies. In the summer of 2023, she toured Italy as the fiddle player for the Bailey Mountain Cloggers, a dance band affiliated with Mars Hill University. Her versatility as a performer has allowed her to engage audiences in diverse settings and genres, further enriching her musical journey. Since 2019, Lizzie has also taught private lessons and worked with the Junior Appalachian Musicians (JAM) program, further honing her skills as an educator.
