Lisa Loeb at Universal Preservation Hall-2 shows! - 07/26/2011

Grammy nominated Lisa Loeb

Grammy-nominated singer/songwriter Lisa Loeb started her career with the platinum-selling Number 1 hit song “Stay (I Missed You)” from the film Reality Bites. To this day, she is still the only artist to have a Number 1 single while not signed to a recording contract. This is a remarkable and unparalleled feat for an unsigned artist, though perhaps not a surprising one, for the recent Brown grad, the girl with the cat-eye glasses, who at the time was already making her mark in New York’s burgeoning singer-songwriter scene. Loeb continues to grow as an artist and to push herself and her career forward with a creative zeal and an inner drive not often seen. After her recent marriage and becoming a mom in 2010, she is currently working on “Camp Kappawanna”, a children’s musical inspired by her CD Camp Lisa (with music and lyrics written by Lisa Loeb, Michelle Lewis and Dan Petty). The musical debuted in July 2010 in Miami, FL at The Adrienne Arsht Center for the Performing Arts. Also, Lisa is writing songs for another studio CD aimed at her “grown-up” audience. In March 2011, the girl with the cat-eye glasses launched the release her own line of eyewear. The artist is constantly looking for different ways to explore her creativity and tell new stories, whether writing a book, producing a TV show, or furthering her acting career. Concerts will be held on Wednesday, July 27th. Kids show will be at 4:30 & tickets are $15; evening performance will be at 8:00 pm & tickets are $35. Tickets are available at Brown Paper Tickets.
