Hi everyone!
For the past few years, and through Covid Times, I have been working as a Clinical Nurse Leader in the field of addiction recovery and substance use treatment. This is an extremely rewarding and challenging place to be, and happily for me involves plenty of creative thinking. There is deep beauty and hope that sometimes happens in an inpatient rehab; it is a treasure hunt for lost souls.
I have been doing some traveling, enjoying time with my human family and friends, and, also, my animal family. Some of you may be familiar with the Little Red Horse, who now lives in a couple of my songs. Lately, a Tall Gray Horse has joined the family: songs to follow. I was going to say Old Gray Mare, but she might take offense, and also, that song has already been written.
I have continued to work on studio recordings, with new material soon to be released. I’m exploring various distribution methods for this, so that it will be widely available, to everyone. Some really exciting options are being presented to me, and I’ll keep you all posted when I decide how it will be done.
Meanwhile, I’m playing music, living life, watching and thinking, honing my chops, sharpening my claws, so that when I’m out there performing live, I’ll be worthy of your time listening.
WFMT DJ Rich Warren, Host/producer of WFMT Radio's The Midnight Special and Folkstage, CD reviewer for Sing Out!, and contributor to Sound & Vision magazine: "I was driving along and heard this gorgeous voice. I thought, oh, yeah, it's about time, the rest of the world has finally discovered Lisa. Then I heard myself announcing the song and realized it was the Folkstage segment, in syndication!"
DJ Clytia Fuller of KZSC 88.1 FM, Santa Cruz, California, in a message to folk and bluegrass DJs across the country:
"My favorite act at Falcon Ridge (folk festival) was someone not even on stage. I was listening to music broadcast over the loudspeakers Friday night, suddenly perked up and said, 'WHO is that'?
Her voice was awesome and haunting. The CD she gave me is GREAT. Sultry voice, sparely produced, finely-crafted songs. GOOD songwriting! I encourage you to check her out."
