Come Hell or High Water is the title of singer-songwriter Lisa Bodnar’s new folk rock/alternative/pop album.

Lisa hit the music scene in late 2003, prior to the official release of Maybe I Did, when she began getting radio airplay in Philadelphia as a featured local artist on WXPN.

Her playing and promotion almost came to a halt as her home and rehearsal space were destroyed in 2004 by hurricane Ivan and then again by floods which devastated the Delaware River area in 2005 and 2006. Inspired by these tragic events, Lisa wrote another group of songs which are featured on her new CD.

Come Hell or High Water, recorded at Kampo Studios in New York, was the result of a collaborative effort by Lisa and Dann Araque, along with several IAR instructors including multi-platinum engineer Dan Grigsby, percussionist Gary Fritz, violist Flavio Gaete, and multi-platinum engineer Jim Bonnefond, as well as IAR staff members including singer Richard Bernard, Vernil Rogers, Angel Rivera, and James Garvey. Grigsby, whose credits include work with Keith Richards, Sting, and Joe Cocker, produced, mixed, and engineered the album.

The recording also features Kenny Margolis and Frank Funaro, the keyboardist and drummer from the band Cracker, members of Conan O’Brien’s horn section including Eddie Manion, Mark Pender, and Richie Rosenberg, the drummer for Saturday Night Live, Sheryl Crowe, Celine Dion, Shawn Pelton, vocalist Elaine Caswell, who has done vocals on albums for Celine Dion, Cher, and Meatloaf, and vocalist Curits King, who has sung on albums for artists such as Peter Gabriel, Stevie Ray Vaughan, Carly Simon, and Bruce Springsteen.
