LisaGermano.net is an independent archival site dedicated to the work of Lisa Germano—singer-songwriter, multi-instrumentalist, and one of the most consistently underappreciated artists of the past three decades.
Born in Mishawaka, Indiana, Germano spent years as a touring and session violinist—most prominently with John Mellencamp—before launching a solo career in 1991 that would produce multiple albums of singular, deeply personal music. Her 4AD years in the mid-1990s yielded her most celebrated work: Geek the Girl, Excerpts From a Love Circus, and Slide remain landmarks of the era, praised by critics and championed by fellow artists from David Bowie to Neil Finn.
This site aims to serve as a comprehensive resource for her discography, press archive, and career history—for longtime fans and for anyone encountering her music for the first time.
