The Fire Tower Sessions by LisaBeth Weber & Maggie Marshall

LisaBeth has also released THE ALMOST LIVE SESSIONS, a collection of 12 original songs with an old-time front porch flavor, great harmonies, a little bit of whimsy, a waltz or two, and a tune you'll likely never hear on the radio. Along with the beautiful harmonies of MAGGIE MARHSALL and ANTJE DUVEKOT, the CD was recorded with everyone performing at the same time, on one track, with mostly one or 2 takes. SING OUT MAGAZINE says: “This is a charmingly honest recording. Weber sings with a full, delightfully pleasing voice, and the harmonies from Marshall and Antje are icing on the cake. The strong melodies of her songs and their mostly positive, upbeat lyrics cast the same kind of enchantment of some of Kate Wolf's recordings. The easily accessible songs make this recording a good way to repeatedly spend the better part of an hour.”

Other recordings include BYE BYE BUSH, a short collection of songs for the times, and FARMHOUSE SESSIONS, (her debut CD), engineered by renowned sound guy SEAN MCCLINTOCK (google that!)

The consummate Renaissance woman, LisaBeth also works at film festivals. This year alone, she was a theater team leader at the SUNDANCE FILM FESTIVAL, worked in filmmaker guest services at the PHILADELPHIA FILM FESTIVAL, and with the filmmaker department at the TRIBECA FILM FESTIVAL. She has written articles for the NATIONAL SEARCH DOG FOUNDATION, and has worked on politics (albeit admitting she doesn’t like politics) because she felt it was the right thing to do. See her blog at www.thebluestatespecial.blogspot.com. LisaBeth has also been published in PERFORMING SONGWRITER magazine with an article she wrote about the renowned engineer David Hewitt, his approach to live recording, and his company, Remote Recording Services (www.remoterecording.com).
