Album Notes

From her childhood spent stumbling through rural bliss around a small town in Northern Ireland to her family’s move to Vancouver Island where she spent a knockabout adolescence, Lisa O’ Neill found her footing at age 17 after learning three chords on a hand-me-down guitar. Since moving to Vancouver in 2000, Lisa has spent the last 9 years honing her talents as a singer-songwriter. Central to Lisa’s sound is her passion for infusing an idyllic world of serenity with the somber tones of reality. The resultant mix balances the hypnotic with the sensual to incite in the heart of listeners a cathartic comfort for whatever ails you.

“Singer-songwriter of delicate aural confections, Lisa O’Neill has just released her debut album Partner. Backed by man of many strings Jesse Waldman and pa rum pa pa pum drummer Nick Stecz, this cohesive trio has a rare chemistry, illuminated on the record with guest support by some of Vancouver’s finest musicians.” - Laura Milligan
