Singer/songwriter Lisa Brigantino releases original Christmas song

Dec. 1, 2014 - PRLog -- Award-winning Brooklyn NY based singer/songwriter Lisa Brigantino announces the official release of her holiday song "It's Christmastime" on iTunes and other digital outlets. Although this is a new recording, “It’s Christmastime” was originally written when Lisa was a freshman at State University of New York, College at Fredonia.  She wrote the song just after she had finished December finals and was preparing to go home to Katonah, NY for the holidays.  The song captures the essence of being away from home and longing to travel back to family and loved holiday traditions.

The song was written and performed by Brigantino, and co-produced with her husband, Thomas Millioto, who also recorded, mixed and mastered the single in their Brooklyn studio.

Lisa Brigantino is an engaging performer whose eclectic approach to songwriting spanning groove, genre and topic garnered her 7th place on Indie-Music.com’s Top 25 Awards of 2012 among other accolades.  A trained composer with a Master of Music in music composition and music theory from SUNY Fredonia, Lisa also composes music for TV, film, theatre, dance and more.

Lisa’s latest full length CD “Wonder Wheel”, an eclectic mix of Folk, Rock, Blues, Americana, Old-Time and more, continues to receive international airplay and fantastic reviews, including a 5 star rating and “Pick Of The Week” from Indie Music Critic and Muzik Reviews as well as numerous other publications, blogs and ezines. Women of Substance Radio says “Lisa is one of the most versatile songwriters we’ve heard. She is a true artist who has mastered countless styles of writing, singing and performing. This New Yorker moves effortlessly from a sensitive acoustic ballad to an in-your-face bluesy romp without skipping a beat.”  Blog Critics says "“Lisa Brigantino is what you’d call a complete musician—a superb multi-instrumentalist, singer-songwriter, and not least, rocker. Brigantino brings to her songwriting that real sense of melody that so many putative writers lack”.  Lisa is currently recording her next full length album with an anticipated release of Spring 2015.

In addition to her own performances, Lisa performs with her sister Lori Brigantino in “The Vickie & Nickie Show”, a wacky musical-comedy act.

Lisa was an original member of Lez Zeppelin, the world’s first all-girl Led Zeppelin tribute band and toured internationally with the band for a number of years playing bass, mandolin and keyboards.  She left the band in 2009 to get back to focusing on her original music.
