An Evening with Lisa Loeb

In 1994 when Lisa Loeb’s breakout song, “Stay (I Missed You),” landed at No. 1 on the charts, it was a remarkable and unparalleled feat for an unsigned artist. That “Stay” became a No. 1 single and still resonates with people today is a testament to Loeb’s gift as a songwriter and storyteller.

“I think part of it is the style of the writing and the production, which is very intimate,” Loeb says.”... it really focuses the listener on the story and I think that resonates with people. The timing and the story made an impression.”

A decade later, the story of Loeb’s early success is well known. What is less apparent though, except to those who watched it all unfold, is how involved, proactive and in control Loeb was in guiding her own career.

Lisa Loeb was raised in Dallas, Texas, and deeply immersed in the arts from an early age. She studied piano and music theory, and wrote her first original songs with lyrics while still in her early teens. She earned her degree in Comparative Literature and Spanish Literaturefrom Brown University, where she experienced her first taste of musical success with the duo Liz and Lisa. Her breakout song 'Stay (I Miss You)' became part of the soundtrack to the hit motion picture Reality Bites starring Ethan Hawke and directed by BenStiller.  The Platinum-selling song put Loeb, then an unsigned artist, on the top of the charts earning both a Grammy nomination and a 'Best NewArtist' Brit Award resulting in a record contract with Geffen Records.

Loeb followed with four acclaimed CDs, including her Gold-certified debut Tails (1995) and the Grammy-nominated, Gold-certified Firecracker (1997). In 2002, Loeb issued Cake And Pie and Hello Lisa. Most recently, in 2004, Loeb reunited with her college music partner, Elizabeth Mitchell on the children's CD and companion book Catch The Moon, which earned the prestigious Parent’s Choice Award and released her newest CD The Way It Really Is. Universal recently released a collection of Lisa’s most requested songs, The Very Best of Lisa Loeb.
