Lisa Loeb & Nine Stories

LISA LOEB & NINE STORIES
 
 
Lisa Loeb  (born March 11, 1968) is an American singer-songwriter, producer, touring artist, actress, author, and philanthropist.  Loeb attended Berklee College of Music in Boston for a session of summer school, and in 1990 formed a full band called Nine Stories.  The band, which was named after the book by J.D. Salinger, included Tim Bright on guitar, Jonathan Feinberg on drums, and Joe Quigley on bass.  (More from Wikipedia)
 
 
Nearly all rock bands start out as local bands; hardly any musicians just burst on the scene out of the blue.  There are music scouts everywhere (amateur and professional), and anyone with any talent at all is usually under contract before any records come out.  Lisa Loeb is still the only recording artist to have a #1 song, “Stay (I Missed You)” (1994) before being signed to a recording contract; the song was part of the soundtrack for the film Reality Bites.  She is a major talent, and I have her first three albums:  Tails (actually by Lisa Loeb & Nine Stories), Firecracker and Cake and Pie.
