Artist Description
Grammy®-nominated singer/songwriter Lisa Loeb started her career with the platinum-selling No. 1 hit song “Stay (I Missed You)” from the film Reality Bites. To this day, she is still the only artist to have a No. 1 single while not signed to a recording contract. Following her debut, Loeb released two gold-selling CDs Tails in 1995 and Firecracker in 1997. Always a great collaborator, Loeb reunited with her college music partner, Elizabeth Mitchell on the children’s CD and companion book Catch The Moon (2004), which earned the prestigious Parent’s Choice Award. Lisa’s other releases include: The Way It Really Is (2004), The Very Best of Lisa Loeb (2006), and Cherries (2007).This year Loeb launched her own independent record label Furious Rose Productions on which she released The Purple Tape (January, 2008) a re-issue on CD of her first recording made in 1992. In June, Loeb issued her second children’s CD, Camp Lisa featuring both traditional and new summer camp songs and several special guests including Steve Martin (on banjo), Kay Hanley, Nina Gordon, Maia Sharp, Jill Sobule, Dave Gibbs and Lee Sklar. In conjunction with the release of the Camp Lisa CD, Loeb started the Camp Lisa Foundation, a non-profit organization that is raising funds to help send underprivileged kids to summer camp through its partnership with S.C.O.P.E. (Summer Camp Opportunities Provide an Edge, Inc.)
In addition to her work as a recording artist, Loeb has graced both the big and small screens. Her television credits include her own series on the E! Network titled 1 Single and the Food Network series, Dweezil and Lisa. In addition to other TV appearances on shows such as Gossip Girl, The Drew Carey Show and the Chris Isaak Show, Loeb appeared with Oscar award-winning actor Geoffrey Rush in the 1999 film House On Haunted Hill.
Loeb hails from Dallas, Texas where her family’s love of the arts was instilled at an early age. She played piano and guitar and started writing original music and songs in her teens.
