About Me

Singer songwriter Trish Lester has been entertaining audiences for decades, with the music of Bob Dylan, Joni Mitchell, Carole King and other well-known artists. Her original songs are well-crafted, engaging and often humorous an eclectic mix, from folk to country to R&B.
Trish's first CD of all-original music, "Plymouth Belvedere," was released in May 2007. The title track from that album is being played on National Public Radio and is included on a compilation CD, "Stairway to Heapdom," produced by NPR's "Car Talk" show (www.cartalk.com), hosted by "Click and Clack, the Tappet Brothers" (AKA Tom and Ray Magliozzi).
Trish's style may remind you of John Denver, Kate Wolf or Mary Chapin Carpenter and she's sure to make you smile!
