Lisa and Lori Brigantino to perform at Saltwater Farm Vineyard

Award-winning singer-songwriter/composer/multi-instrumentalist Lisa Brigantino along with her sister Lori Brigantino will be performing at Saltwater Farm Vineyard's "Summer Thursday Music Series" on Thursday, July 28th from 5pm until 7pm. They be performing some of Lisa's original songs as well as select cover songs.

Lisa is an engaging performer whose original music spanning groove, genre and topic earned her seventh place on Indie-Music's Top 25 list of 2012. Most recently, she won a coveted Singer/Songwriter Showcase spot at the New Jersey Folk Festival.

Lisa will be joined by her sister Lori Brigantino, who sings and plays a number of instruments and whose vocals can be heard on "Wonder Wheel" and Lisa's first album, "A Brooklyn Night." Lori is also a trained actor with Off-Broadway, Off-Off Broadway, TV & film credits. Lisa and Lori also have a wacky musical-comedy act called “The Vickie & Nickie Show.”

Brigantino's latest CD "Wonder Wheel" is an eclectic collection of thirteen songs ranging from Folk and Blues to Rock, Old-Time, Americana, Pop and more and was recorded and produced by Brigantino and husband Tomi Millioto in their Brooklyn studio. The album contains 13 tracks all written and performed by Brigantino with guest performances by Tomi Millioto, Lori Brigantino, Susan Haefner and Jerry Snee. With most of the instruments played by Brigantino, the arrangements show off her versatility as an artist ranging from mellow vocals and finger picked acoustic guitar to full blown rocking band arrangements with Brigantino deftly handling electric guitars, bass, keyboards and more.

“Wonder Wheel” has received international airplay and terrific reviews including a “Five Star Review” and "Pick Of The Week" from Indie Music Critic and MuzikReviews. Blog Critics says "Lisa Brigantino is what you'd call a complete musician—a superb multi-instrumentalist and singer-songwriter. Brigantino brings to her songwriting that real sense of melody that so many putative writers lack." KRUU-FM says "Lisa’s voice moves fluidly from style to style, earthy on the blues and rocker songs, liquid sweet on the acoustic and pop tunes." A number of the songs from "Wonder Wheel" have had placements in film, TV and web series. Brigantino is currently recording her next full length album with an anticipated release of late 2016.

Brigantino was an original member of Lez Zeppelin, the world's first all girl, Led Zeppelin tribute band and played bass, bass pedals, keys and mandolin as well as sang backing vocals. She toured internationally with the band for a number of years performing at A list venues and festivals around the world, including headlining Bonnaroo. The band's debut CD was released in 2007 produced and recorded by the legendary Eddie Kramer. Brigantino left Lez Zeppelin in 2009 to focus on writing and performing her original material.
