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
