Lisa Germano

Lisa Germano earns my deep respect for the courage of her path. She started as John Mellencamp's violinist and grew into an artist singing in her own fragile, unguarded voice. Geek the Girl, hailed by Spin as one of the 1990s' best, proves she never chased the mainstream; she turned vulnerability itself into sound. Thirteen albums is real persistence, not luck. There's something about her Indiana roots that fits the introspective, almost confessional quality of her music. As a multi-instrumentalist who writes, plays, and sings with such honesty, she's the kind of true artist I genuinely admire.
