"...imbued with a musical spirit that can’t be denied." That's as good a description of Lisa Sanders as any, from the San Diego Union-Tribune.

Lisa is an award-winning, genre-defying singer and songwriter, based in San Diego. In her decades of touring, writing, and recording, she has opened for B.B. King, Paul Simon, Bob Dylan, Bonnie Raitt, Sheryl Crow, the Dixie Chicks, Lucinda Williams, James Taylor, Stevie Nicks and Sting, among many others. She's performed all over the world with her duo partner, Karen "Brown Sugar" Hayes, and has been self-releasing her albums on her own label, Maya Jade Records, since 2004. She's got a brand new album in the works, Daughters of the Rising Tide, a collaborative effort with producer JT Nero (Birds of Chicago), feat. Sadler Vedan, Jamie Dick, Christopher Merrill, Steve Dawson, Allison Russell (Birds of Chicago) and others. You can't put Lisa Sanders in a box, you can't hold her back, and you can't keep her from smiling.

We review Star Trek (the Original Series), Season 1, Episode 4, "The Naked Time." Topics include: finding your voice, the boxes they try to fit you in, “keep moving,” racism and representation in the music industry, the “only girl in the studio” complex, Lisa’s new album, Grace’s new album, sword fighting Sulu, George Takei is the actual best, Lt. Jr. Grade Dum Dum, Spock and Nurse Chapel, Spock and Uhura, and there's not much time travel and nobody’s actually naked in this episode ("sorry, neither").
