Risa Binder has just released her debut album Paper Heart this week, and recently took the time to stop by with her band for a performance and interview. The Columbia, MD native, who moved to Brooklyn, NY around eight years ago, started writing songs about the things going on in her life at the age of nine. She grew up a pop music fan, but totally fell in love with country music while attending college. She was going to appear in a show about women in country music, and while doing research on Loretta Lynn, discovered how incredible she was.

When Risa decided to pack up and head to New York City, her attitude was to “write songs and see where it will take her.” With the release of her debut album, her ride is beginning. Paper Heart was produced by Marshall Altman at Smoakstack Studios in Nashville, TN. Being a fan of artists like Jason Mraz, James Taylor, Taylor Swift, Lady Antebellum and Matt Nathanson, that gives you a dead-on hint where her album will bring you. Risa’s band includes: Ryan Bull – guitar, Lee Nadel – bass, Chris Lopresto – keyboards, Doug Yowell – drums and background vocalists Nadia Ackerman and Anthea White. Enjoy the performance below….
