One of Charlotte's most popular singer/songwriters, Lisa De Novo has been working the open mic scene in the city for five years. Now you could say she runs that scene. She dropped in to chat about her newly released album, The Big Bang, her involvement with Girls Rock CLT and how her communications degree helped her build a name for herself in the Queen City.

She also plays a few songs live in the Hygge West studio, which is always our favorite part of any podcast recording.
