Behind The Scenes

Auburn, with Liz Lenten, releases their new album, "Behind The Scenes", on Friday, March 27th, 2026.

Liz Lenten) says, “After lockdown, and all that isolation and distance, 'Behind The Scenes' grew from a desire to connect. Working with writers, vocalists, musicians, and producers from around the world, each song came from shared ideas and honest conversations. The album explores everyday life, relationships, friendships and situations we find ourselves in. Recorded across the US, the UK, and Brazil, each of the 32 different collaborators brought their own perspective, sound, and experience, giving a wide range of musical approaches and writing styles from rootsy americana to soulful pop. I think that diversity really pushed me creatively and let the songs move across different moods and textures, just like the people behind the music”.

Some of the fantastic collaborators and players include Thomm Jutz (Nanci Griffith), Mo Pleasure (Earth,Wind & Fire), Sharon Vaughn (Waylon Jennings), Michael Garvin (Jennifer Lopez), Lynn Williams (The Wallflowers), Will Fowler (Dua Lipa), Pat Garvey (Ozric Tentacles), The London Strings (Gregory Porter), Martin Sutton ( Leanne Rimes) and many more.
