If you are a Damien Rice fan, don't expect Lisa's music to sound anything like his. Although Lisa still holds onto her folk roots her songs definitely have a pop feel. Unlike Rice's heavily emotional lyrics, Hannigan likes to find the brighter side of things. Her music is uplifting and fun. You can't help but smile along with the songs.
Hannigan isn’t just a vocalist. She is also a pretty accomplished instrumentalist playing guitar, bass, violin, several types of percussion, as well as many different cultural instruments. She is an incredibly talented musician; often receiving critical acclaim for her work.
If you follow music closely you will find that Lisa Hannigan is one of those 'artists’ artists'. She’s a musician that many musicians know and love. She has worked with artists like Gary Lightbody (from Snow Patrol), Glen Hansard, Damien Rice, Herbie Hancock and more. Why not be in the know too.
I swear we have the same music book! I have been jamming out to Lisa Hannigan's "A Sail" and even recommended it from my own blog (Just Another Music Monday) a couple weeks ago. I didn't know that she played with Damien Rice though! That explains why I love them both so much :) Thanks for the great share!
