On my recommendation, Lisa Godino has already contacted you about her new album “No Longer Gray or Blue”. You simply have to listen to her songs. I call these songs “flashbacks” because the words are like unprocessed emotions and memories from soldiers who died more than 140 years ago. And, because of that “flashback” quality, these songs speak even to the current pathos faced by soldiers in Iraq . It is as if these soldiers and all soldiers are speaking through her. Furthermore, her voice is unforgettable. It is totally honest, raw and powerful. The instrumentals are superb. Each song is haunting.

Bio
With the voice of an Angel, Lisa has a special gift that captures the souls and spirits of others in her songs. Coloring a picture with her dynamic tones and powerful lyrics, she puts you right there in the song.
From the battlefields of Gettysburg, to the fields of Kentucky with Henry's mighty mules, she has mastered the fine art of story telling.
Growing up in Raritan NJ, Lisa was influenced by a variety of music and as a child always enjoyed composing poems.
Lisa hauntingly beautiful originals evoke the civil war and the mythos of an American landscape of an earlier era. Her pure voice and rhythm guitar lend themselves well to the poignant ballads, lively cowgirl yodels, and country classics that are included in her repertoire.
Her long-time partner Chuck Winch, a native of NJ, and also a talented songwriter, collaborates in the writing of some songs. Chuck plays banjo and guitar in a wide range of folk, bluegrass, and country styles and has been performing professionally for over 20 years. He was a founding member of the Buffalo Hollow Bluegrass Band, and has performed with the Jugtown Mtn. String Band, the Dirdy Birdies Jug Band, and Lew Gelfond's Hotfootin' Travellers as well as solo, and has shared the stage with some of top names in folk, pop, and bluegrass in the course of his career. He also teaches banjo and guitar and has given workshops in performance and music history at schools, museums, festivals, and other events.
Together they have created a body of beautiful music.
