Today I am joined by Eva Lawitts. I first knew Eva as the bassist for Sister Helen, a long running DIY band in Brooklyn, but then continued to run into her playing session gigs for a whole host of acts like Vagabon and Princess Nokia. After the dissolution of Sister Helen, Eva formed Stimmerman as an outlet for her songwriting and has since released an EP, a full length, and most recently a score for the video game Get-A-Grip Chip, which is available on Steam now. We spoke about her compositional process, what she’s learned as a session player and engineer, and much more. https://stimmerman.bandcamp.com/ https://store.steampowered.com/app/1269590/GetAGrip_Chip/ https://www.instagram.com/shrederellaregretowittz/
