Part way through her cross-country tour which began in her hometown of Edmonton, Alberta, singer/songwriter Rebecca Lappa stopped in at the Song Talk Radio studio to share two original songs. She was accompanied on piano by the talented musician Nick Samoil. We talked about:

• releasing your first album at the age of 12
• FACTOR grants
• Canada’s Music Incubator
• metaphor list as a writing tool
• co-writes
• the story is the thing
• a song about a Vimy Ridge hero
• 1st or 2nd person in a song

Listen to the show
