Sounds Like: "Lisa Roma's voice is so pure and beautiful - you can't help but to sit back, close your eyes and get carried away. " ~ Eliane, singer-songwriter, guitarist, composer. myspace.com/elianeperforms //"I heard Lisa sing People's Parties and Woodstock at a jam session. Not only was her voice luscious, but she had the exceptional musicianship necessary to do those songs well." ~ David Lahm, jazz pianist, composer, arranger (son of Dorothy Field, Broadway lyricist/composer). Check out David Lahm's CDs, Jazz takes on Joni Mitchell and More Jazz Takes on Joni Mitchell. //"I met Lisa Roma when she first auditioned for my singing group, the Poetic Notion Chorus. Her warm, lyrical, sultry, soaring voice blew me away and I begged her to be in a show I was directing a week later, a show of Laura Nyro's music. She sang a solo of "Emmie" in the show and sang with the chorus adding deeper dimension to the performance. Her upcoming CD of original songs showcases a rare and original vocalist and songwriter of the highest caliber. I am quite pleased to know that I will be working with her on future musical projects." ~ Rob Darnell, composer, pianist, vocalist, director of Poetic Notion Chorus. poeticnotionchorus.com , myspace.com/poeticnotionchorus //"Lisa Roma presentations have an underlying hint of immediacy. You have to listen and you have to enjoy her." ~ Oscar Brand, award-winning singer-songwriter, performer, best-selling book author, former TV show host, radio host, composer, filmmaker, and more. oscarbrand.com //"Lisa Roma delivers haunting, perceptive songs with a dreamy, expressive voice and a tasty musical groove." ~ Ray Korona, songwriter & performer, People's Voice Cafe. raykorona.com
