Lisa is currently in the studio recording her 6th Album "Rediscovered". It has taken her a little longer than planned to organise time in the studio but she is there. She put down 6 songs yesterday and hopefully today it will be another 6. With a little bit of luck she will only need three days and it will be done. Then it will be off to have the photos and styling done for the album art.

We will keep you posted as to the release date.

"We're Alright" receives an Honorable Mention Award

2010-10-27T14:46:00.005+11:00

Song of the Year is an international songwriting contest encouraging the art and discipline of songwriting. Their primary focus is to find great songwriters while helping them network with professionals in the music industry. For over ten years, Song of the Year has continued to be a leader in offering songwriters great opportunities through the contest and by networking the top writers with music insiders. Songwriter's submissions are judged by a panel of music professionals. The preliminary-judging staff consists of individuals who have showed leadership in music related fields as well as notable songwriters.

Lisa submitted "We're Alright" to the Song of the Year competition held in March - May 2010. She has just been notified that she has received an Honorable Mention at these awards. If Song of the Year receives a lot of positive responses from the judges about a particular song, then an Honorable Mention placement is given. Only the top writers receive this placement.

Lisa is very proud of this achievement and would like to thank the amazingly talented Dieter Kleemann who played guitar on this track.

Lisa's Original Songs get global airplay

2009-12-10T17:04:00.003+11:00

Thanks to Jango.com and Carter Edwards at 2SM, Lisa's song "The Inconvenient Child" and others are getting radio airplay.

Carter Edwards is a Sydney based radio personality who hosts a show on Sunday night on 2SM. He not only played "The Inconvenient Child" but he also interviewed the girl herself. It was a great opportunity for Lisa and Carter to discuss the inspiration for the song and have a chat about the book that started it all.

Jango.com is an online Internet radio station that has over 28000 listeners worldwide. Lisa's original songs, including "The Inconvenient Child" have been getting airplay on this site with some fantastic responses. She is gathering fans from all over the world like Canada, Trinidad, US, UK, Malaysia and of course Australia. Whilst the song "The Inconvenient Child" is not available for sale yet, there is the book written by Sharyn Killens and Lindsay Lewis. For more information about the book, please take the time to go to http://www.theinconvenientchild.com/

You won't regret the time spent.

New Song Release - The Inconvenient Child

2009-11-30T08:50:00.004+11:00

I have a wonderful friend, Sharyn, who has just written a book about her life story. It's an incredible story of survival - she was one of the "Forgotten Australians".
Having read her book I felt moved to write this song about my feelings; how I felt about Sharyn's triumph, and the strong woman she has become.

Sharyn rang me in tears this morning (I know she won't mind me telling you!), but thankfully they were tears of happiness. She loves my song, and so I hope you do as well.

If you want to learn more about Sharyn and her amazing story, go to www.theinconvenientchild.com and get the book!

Cheers
Lisa

Two new songs Hot Off The Press!!

2009-10-05T17:42:00.001+11:00

Thanks for dropping by.......I have just finished writing two, new original songs. The first, called "The Moment I Saw You" was written to celebrate the birth of my good friend's baby daughter, Stephanie. It talks about how their lives have been filed up by the arrival of their "little Rose". I played it straight onto the tape, and I've added some strings to the original vocal. See what you think.
The second is called "Happy Ending". It's got a kind of country rock feel to it, and it's just a joyous song about a beautiful relationship, and how lucky it makes you feel. I'd love to hear what you think about them. They are both in the widget player on the front page.
Meanwhile I am busily gigging away, and looking forward to my next Bette Midler Show at Wenty Leagues on 26th September at 7pm. Hope to see you there!
