Lisa Guyer Band

Celtic harpist Lisa Lynne Franco began studying music as a child; initially attracted to folk sounds, she took up the guitar and mandolin, later playing bass in a local rock band. While enrolled at Hollywood's Musician's Institute of Technology, she concurrently enjoyed a thriving career as a session player; upon discovering the harp in 1985, Franco also formed a progressive rock outfit dubbed Bigger Than Blue. After landing a deal with the German label Innovative Communication, however, student visa problems forced the band to dissolve, so Franco instead played all the instruments on 1991's debut LP Bigger Than Blue. Three more efforts for the label - Romantic Dreams, My Way, and Silken Wings - followed while she formed a new group, Celestial Winds, which earned a significant following playing the boardwalk along Venice Beach.

In the winter of 1994 Lisa Ekdahl was brought into superstardom over night in scandinavia. Lisa’s debut album sold quadruple platinum and gave her three grammy awards. Her laid back style, matched with her fragility and sensitivity has dazzled fans and critics alike. The Olympia concert (CD and DVD) was the grand finale of Lisa Ekdahl’s critically acclaimed European tour 2009-2010 that followed the release of the album “Give me that slow knowing smile”.
