Singer-songwriter Lisa Cerbone kept it personal and close to home on her sixth album Nowhere I Have Ever Been. Ageing and memories are the core subjects on this soft-spoken folk record - it is mostly just her and her acoustic guitar.

Singer-songwriter Lisa Cerbone joins us for a track-by-track rundown of her latest album ‘Nowhere I Have Ever Been.’

Some singer-songwriters spin intricate creations from little more than their voice and guitar. Such is the case with Baltimore-based Lisa Cerbone, whose Nowhere I Have Ever Been seemingly billows in the wind.

At Lonesome Highway we like to introduce new artists to our readers, and our strong focus has been to champion important talent that perhaps goes unnoticed in the busy whirlwind that is social media these days.

The city of Baltimore is home to Lisa Cerbone and her musical talent has walked alongside her work as an ESL teacher to international students for a number of years now.

I always wanted to be like Scout from To Kill a Mockingbird. She was somewhere between Pollyanna and Pippi Longstocking; she had a heart, but was feisty enough to beat up the bullies on the playground if she had to.

Lisa Cerbone has a gentle, childlike voice and with We Were All Together she has created an album that is somewhat evocative of Tanya Donelly or Kristin Hersh.
