Eliza Edens brings a new record to Foam Brewers

The songwriter, last on a Burlington bill in our records in 2023, plays the 150-person brewery room on Saturday, Nov. 21, with Riverbed opening.

Foam Brewers holds about 150 people, which means that on Saturday, Nov. 21, Eliza Edens will be singing to a room where you can hear the taps between songs. For a songwriter whose records live in the details, that is about the best setup Burlington could offer.

Eliza Edens plays Foam Brewers in Burlington on Saturday, Nov. 21, 2026, at 8 p.m., with Riverbed opening. Tickets are on Eventbrite, and the show was announced Oct. 12. In our records, her last Burlington show was July 5, 2023, at The Monkey House, so anyone who caught that set has a lot of new material to catch up on.

The reason to pay attention this fall is the new music. Foam Brewers' own listing for the show says Edens has reemerged with a new record called Death Drive, and describes it as a contemporary indie rock work. That is a notable turn for a songwriter whose earlier work found a home on folk stages and folk podcasts, and Burlington will get to hear it at close range.

Some background for anyone meeting her for the first time. Edens' debut album, Time Away From Time, came out in 2020. Her second, We'll Become the Flowers, followed in October 2022, and Americana UK described its subjects as the aftermath of endings, from heartache to a loved one's decline. Singles along the way drew attention from Under the Radar, which premiered her song "Tom and Jerry," and she has turned up on the Basic Folk podcast and on the stage at Passim, the folk venue that keeps an artist page for her.

A new record, a 150-person room and a Saturday night: Eliza Edens' Burlington return is built for listening.

That history is what makes Death Drive interesting. A songwriter whose second album dealt in heartache and loss stepping toward indie rock is the kind of shift that often plays best live first, before the record has been heard enough to set expectations. At about 150 people, Foam's room is small enough that you will hear exactly how the new songs are built, and close enough that the old ones should hit just as hard.

Riverbed opens the night. Show up for the full bill; at a room this size, the opener is close enough to be part of the same evening rather than background noise.

A few practical notes. The show starts at 8 p.m. on a Saturday, and with only about 150 tickets to go around, it is worth buying ahead rather than chancing the door. Check the Eventbrite page and Foam Brewers' events page before you head out for any updates, including door and set times as the date gets closer. And since this is a brewery, plan your ride home accordingly.

It has been a while since Burlington had Eliza Edens on a bill in our listings, and she is coming back with something new to show. Get a ticket, get a pint, and get there in time for Riverbed.
