Lisa Jaeggi is the adopted child of a Kasmiri sheep wrangler. She learned the esoteric art of trinket totem manufacture in the Karakorem range. Being Japanese in a Indian/Pakistani/Chinese Bermuda triangle would have led to intractable discord, but a powerful pair of clip-on earrings forged in the belly of a volcano were enough to dispel any ill will. After small arms and hand-to-hand combat training were complete, Lisa hitch-hiked down the silk road and signed on to a freighter in Beirut bound for Brooklyn, after a vacation in Puntland Somalia. The rest is history.

Sami Akbari, known musically as sami.the.great. is driven by her overwhelming desire to write and play music. She frequented open mic nights in college, often taking home cash prizes for her highly anticipated performances. She moved to New York City two weeks after receiving her degree in 2005, and quickly began landing gigs at local venues.

Her new EP, Nothing Left to See, features five original songs written by Sami and a cover of Sting's "Roxanne." The disc not only reveals the trajectory of Sami's songwriting career, but also her deft combination of emotion and wit, of melancholy and humor. Like her live show, the album reflects the notion that great things come in small packages and showcases a small-framed singer whose impassioned voice fills the spaces and lives around her.

Now Sami, who performs both on piano and guitar, hopes to expand her sphere of influence beyond New York City, where she has become a formidable force in the music scene. Her songs generate a kinship with their listener, building a connection between the themes of her songs and the lives of her audience.
