Lisa Bodnar and Whistlegrass - 40 Years in the Desert (2022) Hi Res

Pennsylvania’s Lehigh Valley, which includes Lisa Bodnar’s home city of Allentown, has certainly seen some trying times. Lisa, who’s endured some trying times of her own, has inherited some of that defiantly optimistic, won’t-be-beaten-down Lehigh Valley grit, weaving it into the moving, beautifully crafted songs that make 40 Years in the Desert, her long-awaited third album.

"This album is a journey out of the desert. Each song tells the story of that journey. Along the way, homage is paid to the many musical styles that inspire us.” - Lisa Bodnar
