Lisa O'Kane releases first single 'Softer Place To Fall' to Country Radio

NASHVILLE, TN. (www.lisaokane.com) - "...Reminiscent of EmmyLou Harris, though not without sass and swing of her own..." – Nashville Scene
"...Brings to her songs the kind of storytelling acumen, communication skills and passion demanded by Country and Americana audiences." – Nashville City Paper

Lisa O'Kane will issue her first single to country radio on August 23. "Softer Place To Fall," written by Mark Fosson and Ed Tree, is from Lisa's second CD, PEACE OF MIND (Raisin'Kane Records) and is distributed by Burnside Distribution Corp. The album hits the streets September 7.

O'Kane's clear vocal rides the top of the fast-moving track, which features engaging accordion riffs courtesy of Skip Edwards (Dwight Yoakam), and the impeccable bass line of Bob Glaub (James Taylor, Linda Rondstadt). The lyrical message is that perseverance pays off, and O'Kane handles the vocal dynamics like the pro she is.

Currently on a five-week tour of England, Germany and Switzerland, Lisa returns to the States just in time for her new CD's release. The talented Californian rocketed to international fame in 2002 following the release of her debut CD, AM I TOO BLUE.
A string of No 1 records, performances at MIDEM 2003 (France), a standing ovation at the 2004 Country Music Messe (Germany) have honed O'Kane's chops and set the stage for her American debut.
