Songwriter Showcase featuring Eric Ziegenhagen and Isaac David Lyons

Justin Petertil of Love Raid and Office hosts our regular Songwriter Showcase and Open Mic featuring Eric Ziegenhagen and Isaac David Lyons.

Eric Ziegenhagen has a unique skill for narrative in his songwriting. Ziegenhagen’s lyrics are filled with mundane objects like street corners, breakfast dishes and dresses hanging in a shop window. And his themes are often not much grander than his imagery – he writes of small moments that quickly pass through the day and quirky thoughts that pop into our heads. His songs reveal and explore the deep emotions that so frequently accompany our everyday routines and quiet aspirations.

Isaac David Lyons writes piano music much in the vein of Tom Waits. His songs recall taverns and bar rooms from the last century, while his lyrics are simple and humble. Lyons charm lies in the honesty of his songs and the bravado with which he belts out tales of love lost and isolation found.
