On today’s show, we were treated to a doubleheader: an interview with singer-songwriter Lisa Said, and a live, in-studio performance an interview with singer-songwriter Hannah Judson.

Lisa Said recently released an EP entitled Estranged. It’s a tight little song cycle–four well-written songs, crafted from personal experience. “Some Dudes”, the opener, is both hilarious and world wise. Think of it as a response to the Rolling Stones’ “Some Girls”, and you’ve got the picture. We chatted with Lisa from her home in Washington, D.C., and learned about what went into the making of Estranged, and what’s coming up next on the horizon for her. More info at lisasaid.com.

Right after that conversation, Hannah Judson came into the Sacramento studio, accompanied by none other than Twirl Radio favorite Pepe Espada, who “discovered” her for our audience! We chatted about her wide-ranging musical influences, which range from classical to folk to punk. And best of all–she performed two songs for us live in-studio, with her beautiful Gretsch guitar and this cool loop pedal, which gave her the ability to create her own backing vocals on the fly. You’ll simply have to hear it to believe it. More info at hannahjudson.com.
