Elizabeth Clark Phair is an American singer-songwriter (b. April 1967 in New Haven, Connecticut). Phair was raised primarily in Chicago, Illinois. After graduating from Oberlin College in 1990, she attempted to start a musical career in San Francisco, California, but returned to her home in Chicago, where she began self-releasing audio cassettes under the name Girly-Sound. The tapes led to a recording contract with the independent record label Matador Records. <a href="https://www.last.fm/music/

Quotes
