Album Notes

Brian DeMarco and Lisa Leanne hail from Flagstaff, Arizona where they met seven years ago. DeMarco, having already cut his teeth as a traveling musician on the road, found in Lisa the perfect addition to his cross-genre songwriting. He has explored the folk, blues and country traditions by performing music both across America and Europe. His original voice resonates with honesty while expressing universal truths through simple, parable-like language. In the tradition of such great songwriters as Townes Van Zandt, Bob Dylan and Neil Young, DeMarco explores his world through song with a painter's eye, a poet's heart and a philosopher's mind. He draws his musical ideas from his heavily influenced blues background creating sounds reminiscent of Lighnin' Hopkins or Jimmy Reed while touching on a straight-forward and soulful vocal approach similar to a Hank Williams or Johnny Cash. Lisa's angelic voice, gift for harmony and gentle musical touch softens DeMarco's raw heartfelt sound creating an artistically balanced expression.
