Lisa has also released three children’s albums that are exclusively available with Amazon. In 2015, The American Camp Association of New England named Lisa Loeb their Camp Champions Honoree with a gala celebration at Fenway Park. Inspired by her own love of summer camp, in 2008, Lisa started The Camp Lisa Foundation, which sends underserved kids to summer camp. She collaborated to develop and write the children’s musical “Camp Kappawanna” which debuted at New York City’s Atlantic Theater Company. Lisa is also well known to parents and kids for her five children’s albums, and two illustrated children’s books with music. Other recent highlights and appearances include a collaboration with Ziggy Marley on the song and video for “Music Is In Everything,” as well as her cover of Bright Eyes’ “First Day of my Life,” which was exclusively premiered through Rolling Stone magazine, and “Love Never Dies,” an original song she wrote and recorded as a theme song to accompany acclaimed author James Patterson’s latest novel, “Sophia, Princess Among Beasts.”

She also made a surprise appearance at the 25th Anniversary reunion of Reality Bites at the Tribeca Film Festival with the full cast. In 2019, Lisa celebrated the 25th anniversary of her hit song 'Stay (I Missed You)' with a special edition Record Store Day Black Friday 12" vinyl. In recent years, Lisa has also released a cover version of “All the Young Dudes” for Howard Stern’s David Bowie Special on Sirius XM, led a kids’ songwriting workshop in Sydney, Australia, with AMP, and completed a two-week residency at the legendary Carlyle Hotel in New York. This past spring, Lisa supported Belinda Carlisle as the special guest performer on Carlisle's Decades Tour across Ireland. Recent interviews have included Hanson, The Goo Goo Dolls, and Ann Wilson. During her popular featured segment, 'Where They Are Now,' Lisa interviews fellow hitmakers and industry icons who began their careers during that time, highlighting stories from over the years and current projects on which they're working. Lisa is also the host of her own weekday SiriusXM show, "Stay with Lisa Loeb," on '90s on 9, where she shares first-hand, behind-the-scenes accounts about the music and events of the 90s. The musical received attention from prestigious outlets like The New York Times, Vanity Fair, People, and Playbill. The Dallas, TX native recently released her 15th album, A Simple Trick To Happiness,’ to stellar reviews from critics and fans, and followed the release of this album with the debut of her new musical, Together Apart, which she co-wrote and co-produced with over 100 of her fellow Brown University alums to raise money for The Actors Fund. She followed that remarkable feat with several hit singles and six albums, two of which were certified gold. A trailblazing independent artist, Lisa was the first pop musician to have a Number 1 single while not signed to a recording contract. Really, of all the music Loeb has yet made, this Purple Tape comes the closest to delivering an album of songs similar to "Stay" - this is intimate, ingratiating music and it's hard not to see why Ethan Hawke and Ben Stiller got a crush on Lisa based on this tape.Lisa Loeb is a GRAMMY™ Award-winning American singer-songwriter & touring musician, SiriusXM radio host, actor, entrepreneur, and philanthropist who started her career with the platinum-selling hit song “Stay (I Missed You)” from the film Reality Bites.
This is as simple as it gets, sounding exactly like what it is: a collection of endearingly open songs from a young coffeehouse singer who sometimes tries too had and stumbles, but that awkwardness just makes you root for her all the more. "Stay" is not among the ten songs on The Purple Tape, which finally saw a CD reissue in 2008 where it was paired with an interview disc, but the songs here certainly share the sweet melodiousness and emotional vulnerability of her breakthrough hit - and they're also simple and unadorned, lacking the big-budget productions that made Tails and Firecracker sometimes seem over-inflated. This is the tape that wound up in Ben Stiller's hands, which of course led to Loeb's "Stay" being the key song in his 1994 comedy Reality Bites, which in turn made Loeb the first unsigned artist ever to top the Billboard charts. Self-released as a cassette in 1992, The Purple Tape was a collection of ten original tunes by Loeb, all featuring no more than just her and her acoustic guitar. Like the Pixies before her, Lisa Loeb had an early demo dubbed "The Purple Tape" that circulated before she hit the big time - and, like that Boston quartet, Loeb's Purple Tape was instrumental in getting her big-time exposure.
