Few artists capture the spirit of a song and the soul of a listener quite like Dwayna Litz. An American singer, songwriter, author, and speaker, Dwayna has been recognized by Spin Magazine as an “Artist to Watch” in 2025, and her music is published by Universal Music, Spirit Music, and her ASCAP imprint, Litz Music. From her first cut on Patti LaBelle’s Grammy-nominated Flame album to her orchestral renditions of the Great American Songbook recorded at Tony Bennett’s studio, Dwayna’s artistry is rooted in authenticity, passion, and storytelling. And with her latest single, “America Come Home,” she cements herself as a voice that strikes deeply with the heart of a nation.
Opening with these striking lines, “Well, all lives matter, yes indeed. But breakin’ into a Walgreens. And wreakin’ havoc on a city street. Ain’t doin’ no good,” Dwayna sets the tone for a reflective and urgent song. Her vocals are passionate and emotive, delivered with a sincerity that feels lived-in rather than performed. Every note she sings carries weight, particularly in the chorus, where the refrain, “America, come home. America, where have you gone,” rises like a prayer, calling us to reflection, unity, and hope.
The production complements Dwayna’s voice beautifully, blending acoustic guitars, fiddle, piano, and understated drums to create a warm, organic, and unmistakably Americana soundscape. Tim Crouch’s acoustic textures, Jeff Taylor’s piano, and James Mitchell’s electric guitar intertwine seamlessly with Duncan Mullins’ bass and the background harmonies of Nathan and Suzanne Young. The arrangement never overwhelms; instead, it gives Dwayna’s heartfelt lyrics room to breathe, allowing the song’s message of unity, reflection, and spiritual longing to shine.
Musically, “America Come Home” sits beautifully at the intersection of folk, Americana, and gospel-tinged soft rock. It’s a song that feels rooted in tradition yet unmistakably modern in its relevance, speaking to personal and collective experience. Whether reflecting on economic hardships, the erosion of civic trust, or the enduring hope for mercy and peace, the song strikes an intimate and universal chord.
Dwayna Litz isn’t just a singer; she’s a storyteller, a chronicler of the human spirit, and a guide through emotion, melody, and truth. She invites us into a world where music heals, inspires, and reminds us of our shared humanity. With “America Come Home,” she has not only shared a song; she has offered a mirror to our times, a balm for our hearts, and a call for connection.
If you appreciate genuine, emotionally charged, and thoughtfully crafted music, Dwayna Litz Music deserves a place on your playlist and in your heart. Her artistry, from jazz standards to original anthems, embodies warmth, soul, and a rare sincerity. This is an artist who doesn’t just perform; she communicates, uplifts, and leaves a mark.
