Lisa Bodnar And Whistlegrass Release Single “She Kneels”, November 4th Show At The Roxy Theater

Pennsylvania’s Lehigh Valley, which includes Lisa Bodnar’s home city of Allentown, has certainly seen some trying times. Lisa, who’s endured some trying times of her own, has inherited some of that defiantly optimistic, won’t-be-beaten-down Lehigh Valley grit, weaving it into the moving, beautifully crafted songs that make 40 Years in the Desert, her long-awaited third album. Her debut, Maybe I Did, was released in 2003 to instant acclaim and even charted on college and triple-A radio In the mid-2000s, but the sophomore Come Hell or High Water fared even better, garnering four Grammy nominations (Best New Artist; Best Pop Vocal Album; Best Engineered Album, Non-Classical; and Producer of the Year).

40 Years in the Desert is out through Deko Entertainment on October 28th and features eleven brand new songs, you can listen to the second single “She Kneels” now,

Lisa had this to say about it,

“She Kneels is a song about hope and redemption and a love worth fighting for...”

The first single for “Best That I Can” was released last month and is being embraced by fans including multiple features on Spotify playlists. Lisa also filmed an accompanying video in and around her hometown of Allentown and it was directed by Ace Bouchard, son of founding member of Blue Oyster Cult, Albert Bouchard.

In support of 40 Years in the Desert, Lisa Bodnar and Whistlegrass are currently planning the PA67 Tour, a state-wide celebration for community outreach to help the people, places, and programs that need it the most. They will be hitting The Roxy Theater in Northampton, PA on November 4th.
