This was a great show....for me. I've loved Lisa Loeb since STAY, and Jill Sobule since her first CD in 1990, THINGS HERE ARE DIFFERENT. Lisa, with a song in her heart and a bun in her oven, displayed her guitar skills (both playing and writing) while singing a batch of her songs, including tunes from her children's records. Her onstage patter was a bit awkward with many rambling moments that fell dead on an unusually quiet crowd. Jill, as always, was killer. Talented at both songwriting and performing, I'd say she could also have been a stand-up if music didn't work out. Her songs are sly and telling, often calling things as they are in a playful way. Great show. Great price. And sadly, a sleepy crowd.Written on Jan 30 2012

This event was small and intimate. I wish the Canyon Club would consider putting the restaurant tables around the dance floor so patrons who are interested in enjoying the performers can get up close and personal. I especially enjoyed the opening act--Sarah Ault. She is an upandcoming star. Lisa Loeb was cute, as usual. I loved all her narrative stories.Written on Feb 07 2012

The Canyon Club was an intimate setting and Lisa Loeb was great! Just make sure you come earlier as Lisa switched with Jill Sobule and ended up playing earlier.Written on Jan 31 2012

More Information About Lisa Loeb with Jill Sobule
Description
In 1994 when Lisa Loeb’s breakout song, “Stay (I Missed You),” landed at No. 1 on the charts it was a remarkable and unparalleled feat for an unsigned artist, though perhaps not a surprising one for the recent Brown grad, the girl with the cat-eye glasses, who at the time was already making her mark in New York’s burgeoning singer-songwriter scene. For anyone who knew her back then, or who saw her perform at various clubs around town including the Cottonwood Café, The Bitter End, the Bottom Line and CB’s Gallery, it wasn’t a question of if, but when Loeb would hit it big.
Independent, determined and savvy, Loeb already had years of practical experience under her guitar strap, writing and performing solo acoustic, with her band Nine Stories, and as half of the duo Liz And Lisa, (with Brown pal Elizabeth Mitchell), when her friend and neighbor in New York, actor Ethan Hawke, starred in “Reality Bites,” and helped put “Stay” on the soundtrack to the now iconic film. That fortuitous placement and the much played, daring, one-take video that Hawke directed for the song catapulted Loeb from the heart of New York’s vibrant club scene into the national consciousness.
But before the breakout success, the ensuing record deal, Grammy nominations, gold records and extended tours, there was the Purple Tape, the aptly titled cassette that Loeb used as a sonic calling card to industry gatekeepers and that fans could buy at her local gigs. The Purple Tape, produced by Juan Patiño and recorded at his apartment on 52nd Street, is a colorful snapshot of a gifted, emerging artist on the brink, of a time, a place, and a sense that these songs represented something enduring and special.
The Purple Tape became available on CD for the first time when it was released January 22, 2008 on Loeb’s own Furious Rose Productions, with national distribution through Redeye. The collection includes the earliest recordings of several Loeb favorites including “Do You Sleep,” “Snow Day,” “Train Songs,” and “It’s Over.” In addition to the original tracks from the Purple Tape, the CD version includes a full second disc with live, acoustic performances of “Snow Day,” and “Stay (I Missed You),” along with an in-depth interview with Lisa, where she ruminates on that heady time, talks about the songs and the songwriting process and offers up sage advice to the next generation of emerging artists. The package also includes rarely seen photos and extensive liner notes.
That “Stay” became a No. 1 single and still resonates with people today is a testament to Loeb’s gift as a songwriter and storyteller. “I think part of it is the style of the writing and the production, which is very intimate,” Loeb says.” I was in the middle of an argument with a boyfriend, it was a common situation told in a very direct way and because the song structure is really atypical—there’s no chorus—it holds your attention through the entire song to find out what happens. What people think is just guitar and a voice—is actually a whole band. But the way it was produced really focuses the listener on the story and I think that resonates with people. The timing and the story made an impression.”
Loeb deftly parlayed that early success into a multi-dimensional career encompassing music, film, television, voice-over work and children’s recordings. Her five acclaimed studio CDs include her major label debut, the Gold-selling Tails (Geffen, 1995) and its follow-up, the Grammy-nominated, Gold-selling Firecracker (Geffen, 1997). In 2002, Loeb issued a pair of CDs, Cake And Pie and Hello Lisa. She released The Way It Really Is on Zoë/Rounder in 2004 and starred in the first of two television series, “Dweezil and Lisa,” a weekly culinary adventure for Food Network. Later that year Loeb reunited with her college music partner, Elizabeth Mitchell on the award-winning children’s CD and companion book Catch The Moon. The Very Best of Lisa Loeb was released through Universal in 2006, shortly before Loeb returned to television with an inspired look at finding love on her show No. 1 Single for E! Entertainment.
