Lizard Cohen is the music project of South Florida-born artist Jamie Cohen. Often collaborating with her brother, Hersh Cohen (of Austin-based band Shared Walls), her sound blends bold, textured surf-rock with bubblegum-bright vocals.
 

Her latest EP, Chicken Tender Heart, marks her return to music after a ten-year hiatus. Written while spending time in Point Reyes after the passing of a friend, the record drifts through the pollen-hazed listlessness of her twenties, spent between Nashville, Tennessee and Lawrence, Kansas. It's a bittersweet mix of regret, yearning, and unrequited love—wrapped in sugary imagery, sentimental crooning, and bright, buoyant vocals that bring a sense of levity to even its most tender moments.
 

Now newly settled in the Bay Area, Cohen is happy to be back near the ocean that has long shaped her imagination and songwriting. She is currently writing new music and preparing to embark on a West Coast tour in August 2026, continuing a creative chapter that feels both like a homecoming and a fresh beginning.
