Lisa Germano

Spinning on Air | May 18, 2010
Lisa Germano creates moody songs where thoughts of mortality bump up against hope and love, and trying to understand motivations is the motivation for song. The intimacy of her singing voice draws you in, and can make you feel like you're overhearing her thoughts. Lisa returns to Spinning On Air for the third time, joining host David Garland to talk about what songwriting means to her now, and about her new album, "In the Maybe World." And, accompanying herself at the WNYC Steinway grand piano, Lisa sings some extraordinary versions of her songs.
