Lissa Schneckenburger - S5E3, Raw Songwriting Challenge

Raised in a small town in Maine, Lissa Schneckenburger began playing fiddle at the age of six, inspired by her parent's interest in folk music. In 2001 she graduated from the New England Conservatory of Music with a degree in Contemporary Improvisation. She has been writing, performing, and teaching music around the world ever since, from traditional New England dance tunes, to original songs inspired by her experience as a foster and adoptive parent.

Lissa has toured the globe, from her New England stomping grounds to Quebec, the United Kingdom, Denmark and even Russia, playing and teaching at festivals far and wide. She’s opened for esteemed artists such as Richard Thompson and Judy Collins.

But when the pandemic put a damper on touring, writing music became an essential outlet for Lissa. The result was enough new material for several albums. The first in the queue, Falling Forward, is a collection of Schneckenburger’s original fiddle tunes and two traditional New England songs, just released last March.

To Schneckenburger “music creates community, It’s what people sing along to, dance to, fall in love to... music brings people together. These songs are part of all of us, and it's an honor” to share them.
