Bio (Switch)
Bio
With three studio recordings, the latest titled "Pivot", all released on her own indie label, East Coast based singer-songwriter Lisa Fenstermacher continues to hone her musical talent and skill with perception, awareness and depth. Lisa's song "Peace", co-written with producer Michael Sauri (Fighting Gravity, Cinema 8), won a Silver Award at the 25th Annual Mid Atlantic Song Contest, and two other songs from "Pivot" received Honorable Mention out of over 900 entries from around the world. The “Pivot” CD was nominated for a WAMMIE award by the Washington Area Music Association.
Lisa's style and music cross over generational, and denominational lines while a powerful combination of faith, grace and persistence continues to open doors and direct her steps. Music industry consultant David Bunker observed that Lisa's vocals are "reminiscent of Amy Grant" and likened Lisa to "a female Rich Mullins" because of her authenticity and transparent way of communicating.
Lisa has built a solid foundation throughout the Mid-Atlantic area for her commitment and dedication to partnering with many non-profit and faith-based organizations, putting her music to work at numerous benefit concerts and outreach events. This background with the social issues of poverty, AIDS, and the plight of orphaned children in Africa and Guatemala informs her songwriting and music. Lisa's songwriting on her most recent release "Pivot" was the canvas for songs that reflect the human experience with all the struggles, hopes and faith we each carry in our heart.
Lisa has opened for the Dove Award-winning group Selah. She received two WAMMIE nominations from the Washington Area Music Association for Best Female Gospel / Inspirational Vocalist, and placed as a semi-finalist at the international Christian Artists Seminar in Estes Park, Colorado.
