Pennsylvania music makers, Lisa Bodnar and Whistlegrass have a mission: to provide concert events in all 67 PA counties to unite communities and help raise funds for those in need. These events are fundraisers for non-profit organizations whose work helps with one of the following community needs: Disaster Relief, Diversity, Equity and Inclusion, Food Insecurity/Homelessness, The Environment, Arts/Education, and Emergency First Responders.

A Singer-songwriter/recording artist from Pennsylvania’s Lehigh Valley, Lisa Bodnar writes songs that are reflective of the resilience and optimism of the region. Despite personal challenges, including home destruction from floods, Lisa has stayed positive and channeled her experiences into her music. Her latest album, 40 Years in the Desert, a collaboration with instrumentalist/ producer from Quito, Ecuador, guitarist Dann Araque, showcases her best work with Bodnar’s unique vocal stylings and piano melodies pairing well with Araque’s ear-candy guitar musings to yield a variety of styles and genres.
