Bay Area bred Lisa Stano charms and comforts with bluesy, straight-to-the-heart vocals and "tell it like it is" songs. Influenced by old-time blues, gospel, and R&B, Lisa will at once uplift and embrace you with her authentic sound.

Paul Johnson has been a singer/songwriter since his 20s. He has traveled extensively and has drawn on those experiences for inspiration in his songwriting. He has been influenced by indie artists, but he always returns to his roots with James Taylor, Joni Mitchell, Bruce Cockburn and others.
