The daughter of successful songwriter Terry Gilkyson, Eliza is a third generation musician who grew up in Los Angeles knowing that her life would revolve around music. At the end of the sixties, she moved to New Mexico with likeminded souls, eventually raising a family, all the while developing a loyal fan base in the Southwest and Texas and cutting numerous records.

In 2000, Eliza released her first album on the Red House Records label, Hard Times in Babylon. The album was a critical success followed quickly by more acclaim for her second recording with them, Lost and Found. She has also been on several compilations issued by Red House, including the Bob Dylan tribute album, Nod to Bob, and a Greg Brown tribute called Going Driftless, benefitting a breast cancer research group. Eliza has appeared several times on NPR's All Things Considered, recently played Austin City Limits, and in February of 2003 she was inducted into the Austin Music Hall of Fame, alongside such luminaries as Willie Nelson, Townes Van Zandt, Nancy Griffith, and others. Eliza recorded Land of Milk and Honey in 2004, a recording decidedly more sociopolitical in theme, that was nominated for a Grammy. Her most recent CD is Paradise Hotel which has already made DJ Top Ten lists all over the US and Europe.
