About Lissa's new album:
Announcing the release of "Song" the new acoustic collection of New England folk songs, recorded by Vermont based fiddler and singer, Lissa Schneckenburger. Lissa's fiddling is uplifting and lively, and her singing is gentle and evocative. Both in concert and in the studio she is regularly accompanied by some of New England's best musicians, including guitarists Keith Murphy and Matt Heaton and double bassist Corey DiMario. Recently she has been closely studying the roots of the Downeast traditional music that she first heard as a young girl.
Her latest project is "Song", the first in a pair of CDs dedicated to reintroducing some wonderful but largely forgotten songs and tunes from New England. "Song", to be released April 15th, 2008, contains ten timeless ballads that go back as far as the eighteenth century that she set to carefully crafted modern arrangements. The second recording, "Dance", is scheduled for release in 2009, and will feature a unique repertoire of New England fiddle tunes. "There is currently a lot of focus on traditional American music from the South", she explains, "and many bands are exploring and recording that repertoire, but no one is getting to hear the amazing wealth of traditional music from the North. This is my first attempt at getting some of that music out there for people to enjoy. It is really important that we represent these two essential aspects of New England's traditional music heritage equally. The songs and dance tunes both combine to create an overview of the culture and the sound of traditional music from the northeast. The CDs 'Song' and 'Dance' are two halves of a whole that describes a musical heritage I am very proud of"
