I Like You Love is on Lisa's CD - Hey There . . . 12 songs that you wish your girlfriend had written.
In 1999, Lisa released her first album of original music. “Music Box” is getting National and International airplay. The album has been called “a work of art” and was re-issued in 2007. "Playing With Angels" from that first CD was number one on the Australian Indie Music Charts in February 2008. Music Box showcases an artist of dept and experience." ~ Dirty Linen
In 2003, Lisa quit her day job to give her undivided attention to music. “I had just completed a Master’s Degree in Theater from Ohio University and a professor was encouraging me to pursue a PhD. I thought . . . I know I can get the degree but, I’d rather put my energy into something I love, singing."
In 2006, Lisa released a second album of original music entitled, "Chasing Away The Blues" which was produced with Grammy Nominated Celeste Friedman. The album is receiving international attention on the folk and blues scenes and the song “Where The Buckwheat Blooms” topped the International Folk Play list at #32. The song "Take Time" went to #1 in Australia in 2008. "A taste of soul, and the blues . . . elements that have ensured true musical art." ~ Champaigne Macier
In 2007, Lisa released “Come To Me” which was recorded with Nashville producer Gary Scott. “Come To Me” showcases Lisa’s talent for writing a song that is perfect for her voice.”
2008 brings two more recording projects from Lisa. "Yellow Shoes" was inspired from the one-woman Off-Broadway production that Lisa took to New York in January 08. "Yellow Shoes" features American Roots Music (Folk, Jazz Standards, Blues, Traditional) and catchy original tunes. Kids love this music, and adults love it too! Singable, sophisticated songs for the young child. Kid tested/Parent Approved! "Play it again!" ~ Max, Age 4
Also in 2008, "Hey There" produced by Todd Burge of Parkersburg, WV. Lisa’s voice is strong, and alive with expression, her words are kind and truthful. This album was recorded live in her home, it sounds as if you are being serenaded in your very own living room.
