Lisa Loeb was in Austin last month for a show at Cactus Cafe, and to help promote her new CD, Camp Lisa. I spent some time with her during sound check and then we did a quick portrait session (photo).
Camp Lisa is her second children’s music CD. It features a great set of fun songs and guest performers like Nina Gordon, Jill Sobule, Dave Gibbs, Maia Sharp, and Steve Martin (who plays banjo!).
As a kid, Lisa actually went to summer camp at Camp Champions in Marble Falls. She visited the camp during her Texas stay to spend time with the kids and sing a few songs. As Lisa put it, kids tend to do better if they have the opportunity to go to summer camp. She says it’s a great way to stay mentally and physically active, which helps them retain what they’ve learned during the school months.
Camp Lisa is available exclusively at Barnes & Noble.
