Elizabeth Butler (born August 12, 1960) is an American singer-songwriter and musician whose musical style has been generally classified as Americana, pop, and folk.

Career

In 2004 Butler founded Running Home Records based in Houston, Texas. She was performing with Running Home, an Americana-country-jazz duo with Suzanne Comeaux Bucher that quickly garnered airplay and a widespread fan base. They performed for several years, but both were married and had children, so they put their music project on hold.

They released their debut album, Running Home, in 2006. It received international radio airplay on college radio stations, most notably in the United Kingdom, Australia, and the U.S.

Love & Loss & Stuff Like That, Butler's sophomore album released in 2014, received favorable reviews. Her single "Love Over Logic" won Best Country Song at the Indie Music Channel Awards in 2014, and "A1A (Settin' Myself Free)" won Best Country Recording. The latter was also nominated for Best Americana Song at the HMMA Awards (Hollywood Music in Media Awards) in 2014.[1] In 2017, her single "If I Knew" charted on the Hot A/C Music charts.[2][3]

Arun Shenoy also recorded a jazz version of "If I Knew," released on Narked Records in 2017.
