If you are not a fan of sweaty and chaotic New Year's Eve parties, or if you'd like to take it easy in the early evening hours, Rockwood Music Hall has put together a very civilized - but extremely enjoyable - early show for the last day of 2014: Elizabeth & the Catapult (pictured) and Dear Georgiana are the brainchildren of two of the most talented NYC based female songwriters. and will take the stage of Rockwood 2, in that order, starting at 8pm on December 31.  Check out these two catchy and lush singles from their recent albums.

Growing up in Greenwich Village, Elizabeth Ziman of Elizabeth & The Catapult, was trained from a young age as a pianist and studied classical composition at the Berklee College of Music. It was here that Ziman met her future bandmates, drummer Dan Molad and guitarist Pete Lalish and in 2004 Elizabeth & The Catapult was born. Ziman's schooling is evident in the music she writes; intelligent, memorable melodies are carefully placed alongside sunny riffs and beautifully constructed lyrics. Shaped by Ziman’s clear powerful voice and their unique use of instruments, the band's eclectic pop sound is one of a kind. See them tonight at The Deli's CMJ showcase at Rockwood Music Hall - full lineup here. - Brescia Mascheretti
