Lisa Hannigan

While listening to a little Grooveshark today at work, I stumbled across the song "I Don't Know" by Lisa Hannigan. I really loved it so I looked up her story. Turns out she used to collaborate with Damien Rice for 7 years until he recently dropped her by saying their collaboration had "run its course". Nice of him.

Anyway, she struck out on her own, creating her first solo album entitled "Sea Sew". Sales really took off when she appeared on The Colbert Report last month and got what is now dubbed "The Colbert Bounce", moving up the Billboard, Itunes, and Amazon charts. To get a taste of her music, check out her Colbert performance here.
