About Me

LISH is an acronym for Love Is; Soul Healing. What does that mean? LOVE: strong affection or liking for someone or something/a passionate affection. SOUL: an entity without material reality, regarded as the spiritual part of a person/the moral or emotional nature/spiritual force, warmth/vital or essential part, quality. HEALING: to make or become well or healthy again/to cure or mend, as a wound. “ A PASSIONATE AFFECTION CAN MEND THE SPIRITUAL FORCE.”LISH's goal is to inspire and awaken ones spirit. LISH music is lyric focused with emotion evoking guitar melodies. LISH is a new age display of truth, growth and potential. They guarantee to strike a chord in your heart.In 2002, inspired by life events, Carsen B. Vartell began writing lyrics to Dav Douglas's instrumental guitar work. Dav's ability to capture the mood of a song, combined with Carsen's heart felt lyrics, are what fuels this passionate duo to create and share their dream.Quotes from other artists..................."TRUE TO MY HEART - is the coolest song ever!" - Melanie Dekker.............................."Mm.
