*********** "I want to write a song that feels to me like To Kill A Mockingbird must have felt to Harper Lee; one that says it all" - Lisa Carver *********** "Carver, on a great day, is a storyteller in the vein of Kristofferson and Tom Waits, breathing life into and out of characters that inhabit songs of love, heartache, longing, cheating, and murder. Lisa Carver on a really good day is one of the lucky ones getting to earn a living making up songs with the other creative souls on Nashville's famed Music Row. Carver's had songs cut by artists ranging from Jewel, Tim McGraw, Reba McEntire, Julie Roberts, Shelly Fairchild, Thom Bresh, Tanya Tucker and Willie Nelson to Sugarland. She draws from a deep well of musical influences, namely Cash, Kristofferson, Haggard, John Prine, Jonathan Long, Leonard Cohen, and Tom Waits. One of the founding members of the longest-running female live music shows in Nashville, Girls With Guitars, Carver learned the power of crafting a song that would hold an audience with only a voice and a guitar. Disillusioned with the formulaic norm on the commercial Nashville music scene, Carver was happy working and writing on the fringes while honing her songwriting craft and performances. When the time was right, and with the help of two of her musical heroes, Thom Bresh and Anthony Smith, she secured a publishing deal with Laura Stroud at Big Alpha Writers Group, a coventure with Sony/ATV in October of 2002. Over the years, she has developed an enormous respect and deep gratitude for the experiences that being a writer in Nashville has brought her. To sit in a room with writers like Johnny Cash, Merle Haggard, Jonathan Long, Don Schlitz, Anthony Smith, and Thom Bresh, has made a tremendous impact on Carver's own artistic path. Every day is another chance to get up and possibly write her own "Sunday Morning Coming Down". |
