Woody Lissauer (born July 9, 1959, in Baltimore, Maryland)[1] is a musical artist, with a large body of work going back to the 1970s.
Lissauer was deeply involved in music from an early age. He played in a number bands in school, warmed up for Steppenwolf while still a teenager, and graduated with a degree in music composition from Towson University. He immediately joined the Gordon Michaels Band on A&M Records. Pursuing a life on the road, he traveled with Strangelove, Cinematrix (Chrysalis Records), Multiplex, Crack the Sky (Lifesong Records) and many others throughout the 1980s. Vigil producer Sam Praeger introduced Lissauer to Baltimore socialite Mark Davison, and they formed alternative-rock group Cubic Feet.
Cubic Feet
Cubic Feet released Across the River featuring The Weather Girls in 1988 with the backing of Warner Music's publishing arm, Warner Chappell. The band produced three more albums, Passenger in Time, Inside Rail and Superconnector, produced by Romantics producer and Procol Harum keyboardist Peter Solley. Weathering the vicissitudes of band life, Lissauer's club work bounced from group to group playing a variety of instruments during the industry downsizing of the 1990s until he settled into solo work and a duo with Chris Noyes.[2]
