Lisa started out on the air in 1992, at Mary Washington College’s radio station in Fredericksburg, VA–she shared a two-hour slot with a friend, spinning bluegrass tunes, alternating with her partner’s alternative rock choices. She landed a weekly bluegrass slot on a commercial station in central Virginia in ‘93, which she kept for ten years, but also did public radio on WTJU in Charlottesville, always preferring the whole attitude and format of the public radio arena. Joining the Bluegrass Overnight cast in December 2001, the show is a real treat for her, kind of the Holy Grail of bluegrass radio. She loves being able to interact with Bluegrass Country’s & WAMU’s incredible audience, all knowledgable fans of the music she loves.

Lisa lives in Warrenton, VA, writes articles for Bluegrass Unlimited magazine, plays mandolin with the band Flyin’ Blind Bluegrass, and books and promotes bluegrass music through her company, Timberwolf Publicity.
