ABOUT

Liz Dieleman

IMG_1302.jpeg

With her warm, low Stevie Nicks meets kd lang vocals, Liz leans into West Coast inspired Laurel Canyon vintage folk-country, splashed with island surf and bardic sea shanty. Her vibe is soulshine with humour, spiritual wisdom, and timeless fireside story-lyrics;
she's here to inspire folks to discover what, in fact, the deal is.

​

Liz has another moniker, "The Other Mary," through which she releases her faith-based songs, and is half of the psych folk-rock duo, Oak of Moreh, with her husband, Devan. She is the founder of a songwriting collective, Misfit Church, dedicated to providing a fresh set of public domain modern hymns and 70's Jesus Movement-esque tunes for the global church.

A self-made one-woman-show, Liz “whatsthedealman” Dieleman is a 360 degree artist: singer-songwriter-producer video editor, who's van-lifing on Vancouver Island as an American-expat, proudly promoting her adopted Canadian culture via an identity she calls #beavercore.

​

whatsthedealman is a livestream queen with her looper, magical vocal FX, unique backing tracks, and beguiling banter.
She is a state theatre competition winner, and leads worship every Sunday in Victoria.
