About 2 Meter Sessions
====================
Based in the Netherlands, 2 Meter Sessions is an independent, ongoing (new) music platform with a great legacy. Monthly we film 3 to 4 sessions with promising and breakthrough acts from all over the world.
Many well-known acts have visited the show; from James Taylor, Elliott Smith and David Crosby to Damien Jurado, Ben Howard and Josh Ritter, via Radiohead, Nirvana, Coldplay and Foo Fighters. Archive footage can regularly be seen in (theatrical) documentary movies, like “Mystify: Michael Hutchence” (with footage of our session with INXS, filmed in 1997), “Heaven Adores You” (with footage of our session with Elliott Smith, filmed in 1998) and “All I Can Say” (with footage of our session with Blind Melon, filmed in 1993).
The show started back in 1987 by radio presenter Jan Douwe Kroeske. On his popular national radio show he persuaded New-Zealand band Crowded House to play a couple of songs. The response of the public was so great, that 2 Meter Sessions quickly became a household name. In 1993, the show made a successful transition to national television. From there the show became a national phenomenon, for over 10 years, with filmed sessions of new talent, breakthrough acts and arrived career artists. Almost a million of 2 Meter Sessions cd’s were sold in the Netherlands.

For those asking about Lisa's recent history, I only know a little. She is living in a small town in the Midwest and taking care of her Mother who is in her 90's. She posts some music on Facebook occasionally. I went to high school with her and I knew her as she played in a few bands at IU and then, of course, Mellencamp's band. I always thought her albums in the 90's were amazing and I never understood why she didn't become part of the female artist's revolution that happened back then.
Really happy you posted this mate. Severely underrated artist with seemingly no digital footprint! Nice to know she's still about
I was just wondering what she was doing now… Thanks for the update.
And yes, she is clearly underrated, her melodies are simple yet powerful, her songs are so moving, her way to sing as it's a question of life & death. I miss her art & her voice in this world.
She still performs with Mellencamp. This was taken from this years Farm Aid show. ua-cam.com/video/6RbnG5sxszo/v-deo.html
She's her own person. No mainstream B.S.
Thanks a lot, Geek the Girl ... Lullaby for Liquid Pig is as amazing a run of albums as you'll kind. I was so lucky to see her live twice here in Switzerland and would love to again. She's special.
I wish for this message to reach Lisa Germano: I’m an older gal now, 40, who has loved your music since I was 16… You’re my all-time favorite musician bc of your honesty and humor and excellent compositions. Your music has helped me be. Xo
i second this emotion
An incredibly humble talented beautiful being. So lucky to hear her music that calls to our very souls… 💕🌸
The most underrated artist of all time
she means so much so much to me
The beauty and creative force of this woman lives right here on our screens. We can stumble upon it 27 years down the road and be as stunned by her as if she'd just performed it today. Lots to say about her but I'll go with "WOW."
Wherever you are, Lisa, I'll love you forever.
I didn't discover her until my early 50's , what a gift for my menopause et al of those days . many nights with her music softly singing me to sleep .
This is the song takes me back to the night my father passed away in 95. I have never seen Lisa do this live - or anything for that matter - so what a gift this video is. She is a tremendous talent and I'll never understand how she was so overlooked. Gorgeous music that has lasted decades for me and will for my lifetime. Come back Lisa and grace us with more of your poetry and sonic beauty.
I remember this song so fondly- such an underrated song writer and musician.
AMAZING. Please record more music Ms. Germano. You are one of the GREATEST ARTISTS ever!
Love listening to Lisa’s music especially on a bad day.Weird I know but it works for me
What a great talent, even better person ❤
Dark difficult days back in 1979 spotted her playing violin with Simple Minds. Another great song "Belfast Child" both stand the test of time. Lisa has had her difficulties too i guess. So convey my thanks for her music
1989 I think.
It's too bad she never got the recognition she deserved back in the day. Lullaby for Liquid Pig is a gorgeous album, IMO. I remember the first time I saw her, Mellencamp was in a documentary about Woody Guthrie and Ledbelly, along with a bunch of other artists. She was his fiddler back then, and they did a couple pieces for the documentary. She looked to be quite seriously baked.
Later I randomly ran across Liquid Pig, which I still have in my collection and just turned someone on to it earlier in the work, and he loved it.
Link to it please?
I miss her so much.
The Heart and Soul of Our Great Heartland. Never another. We needed you then and now. Thank You!
This is a song from the soul ! She is so in tune w/ her Feelings ! I hope shes doing well ! I sent her a cd mix in the mail from my music collection ! I also put some songs on her cd that she just loved , like a song by Steve Miller called :Give me something to believe in from his Joker Album .
An artist I hold very dear to my heart.
Lisa, I remember you from Bloomington, maybe the Blue Bird, I’ve always respected you , you are a great musician and songwriter, I hope you are well , jeff king
I still remember working on your Akai MG-1214 recorder back in the 80's. Those were the good days.
LOVE LISA GERMANO... UNIQUE
Stunning! Whew!!
Hello! Immense Lisa, another Amazing artist, thanx for sharing. Have a nice Day ;)
Love Lisa Germano since seeing her play with Simple Minds in the 80's, her music is unique and soulful, what a talent she is.
I saw Lisa play With SM in Verona , Italy, Wish I was back there and then
A true artist
Perfect!
It's been so long since Lisa Germano released new music, and it's virtually impossible to find any information regarding her career post-2013. Anybody know what she's been up to in the last decade or so?
Sweet!
Lisa Germano, gee! Of course saw her play with John Mellencamp. But saw her also play solo later. Where was it?Arnhem? Nijmegen? I can't remember, it's so long ago by now.
Good to see her here!
Hi Lisa , I used to be friends back in the in the IU day , I bought the entire album, very Good, by the way in the one who wrote Ruby I seen it on a show with Frank Haney , I so glad somebody finally covered one my songs , I wrote in a tent i my moms back yard , I never thought of it as country rock , but very good job , I wish Jonny Cougar had of put in on Pink houses album, I think you should release it this song just like you tube, maybe somehow your label could release it as a single, anyway I think very highly of you, hope you have good New Year
Sublime
A+
Where is she now? Her music was so important to me… She owes me nothing, I just want to know that she's good.
Neil Finn loves her, we all do x
Some people consider Ivo Watts-Russel, the original owner of the UK independent label 4AD records as a semi God or a living legend. The man that gave the world Pixies, Cocteau Twins, Bauhaus, Nick Cave, Dead Can Dance, Breeders etc. In certain cases, he was. But a lot of folks think he has the main responsibility to have destroyed Lisa Germano and Heidi Berry careers, through extremely wrong and bad commercial and artistic decisions about the conducting of these two amazing women when they were signed to his label.
Such a shame, maybe industry destroys music, even indie-ustry.
It's intersting to consdier how much you do or don't "need" ,"want" or "depend" upon intermediaries in any market - and a little harder to consdier what might happen without them.
For example, estate agents are generally bad for housing a whole population, but a lot of specific people (usually those with money) like having someone get them a house, and generally corral land-use so as to situate them with similarly wealthy people or at least people they arent scared of.
All i can say from some basic economics is that if the intermediaries get market power - for whatever reason in whatever niche - it's likely to reduce the number of good transactions overall - for both disempowered consumers and disempowered producers. But that wont mean that a lot of people dont have a moderate number of good experiences - in fact it guarantees it; and increases the amount people will pay for it.
I had to travel to Berlin from UK to see Lisa Germano in a small room upstairs of a theatre, 'cos she tours so rarely - but she played well and it was awesome - overall I'm not sure it'd be the same if she'd played at royal albert hall or somewhere wanky like that. But yeah i had to pay more, but at least not to 4AD.
Muito bom 🙌 trop bien
