Episode 76: A Return Conversation with Lisset Diaz of the Sweet Lizzy Project

Every album is important to every band, but some have greater impact than others. Look no further than the Sweet Lizzy Project (www.sweetlizzyproject.com). The now Nashville-based band’s first album Heaven, was released 10 years ago this year and literally changed their lives. Recorded in a humble studio in Havana, Cuba, Heaven ended up in the hands of Raul Malo, lead singer/songwriter for the Miami-based Americana band the Mavericks as he was scouting bands and locations to film the 2017 PBS special Havana Time Machine. One listen and Raul not only included the band in the special, but also brought them to the US. In this episode, Sweet Lizzy Project lead singer Lisset Diaz makes a return appearance to discuss Heaven, which the band is rereleasing to celebrate its 10-year anniversary. Join me as Lisset recounts how a part-time hobby turned into an album that uprooted and changed their lives. It can be cliché to say that music changes lives, but Lisset and her band are living proof. Dig in!
