Nashville, TN (December 12, 2012) -- INSIDE MUSIC ROW's Kelly Lynn captured the essence of the singing/songwriter mother of two, Lisa Matassa, during a recent interview.  "It was a very simpatico moment for us," notes Lisa.  "She drew out a side of me that most fans don't see."

Lisa, a Long Island resident, shared her personal thoughts about subjects as diverse as Hurricane Sandy's impact, songwriting and the launch of her second musical career.  Matassa spoke excitedly of the Watertown, Tennessee video shoot for her current single, "Somebody's Baby," directed by Traci Goudie (Hunter Hayes, Merle Haggard, Emmylou Harris, Patty Griffin).  The video has logged over 2.49 MILLION YouTube views to date and is included on her new, enhanced EP, SOMEBODY'S BABY.

 

The Country songstress also performed an acoustic version of "Wouldn't You Like To Know" (a Matassa co-write with Don Rollins and Jody Gray), from the disc.  The episode marks her debut on the popular show, and the segment is airing now through December 16.  INSIDE MUSIC ROW is available in markets ranging from Abilene to Australia and from Paris, France to Pittsburgh, PA.  Outlets carrying the program include CMC (AUS), FamilyNet, Rural-TV and AMG-TV.  Nashvillians can watch Lisa on IMR on WNAB-TV (Comcast Channel 18) on Saturday, December 15, at 10:30 p.m. CST.  For a complete listing of available broadcasters, go to insidemusicrow.com.
