80 – Lisa Said finds Missed Connections in Portugal

Lisa Said is an Egyptian-American songwriter from Chatanooga, TN. Her latest record, Missed Connections, is out now on all platforms, notably the great artist-friendly Bandcamp. Lisa and I met around 2016 in Washington, D.C. where she released her debut album, No Turn Left Behind, after gigging around the friendly haunts of the capital. She then fronted Piramid Scheme, a four-piece that also reimagined some of her earlier work with garage overtones. This episode was a lot of catching up and a reminder of why I do this – to get to know artists and let them speak. Enjoy!
