Elizabeth McComb (born December 1, 1952) is an American gospel and blues singer, songwriter and pianist.

## Biography

[edit]

The sixth of seven children, Elizabeth McComb grew up in Cleveland in an African-American family that originally came from Mississippi. Her father, a factory worker, died when she was very young. Her mother was a preacher and the pastor of a Pentecostal church.[1] Three of her sisters formed a vocal group called The Daughters of Zion that performed in local churches. Years later, they would sometimes accompany McComb during her concerts. McComb started singing at the early age of three.

McComb began with violin but decided to switch to the piano. While still young, she joined the Karamu House Theater school and then the cultural center's theater company.

McComb went to New York and started auditioning for shows and musicals. With the support of her cousin, Annie Moss, she toured in Europe as part of the itinerant "Roots of Rock'n’Roll" show. She regularly performed in Europe, traveling back to the United States several times a year.
