Morningside Lane was established in Palisades Park, New Jersey in 2009 and has since enjoyed domestic and international recognition with their innovative spin on the fresh, energetic “Jersey Sound”.
In 2020, the band released their first full-length album, “These Are Our Years”. Since then, the band has been transforming their sound, leaning towards a modern 80s pop/synth sound, culminating in the 2022 release of their second album, “Flowers To Flames”. Morningside Lane continues to build a strong fanbase, headlining many popular New Jersey venues.
The music of Lisa Bouchelleunapologetically encompasses a wide variety of genres, including Americana, pop, singer-songwriter, classic rock, gospel, and more. The songs are all based around her unique acoustic guitar grooves, and her lyrics are often about empowerment and believing in oneself, and one’s dreams; about not being afraid to take chances in life; to overcome your fears, to go for it, and “Jump In!”
“An outstanding album from one of music’s best voices… inspiring songs and hooks galore,” says The Aquarian Weekly about Lisa Bouchelle’slatest album, now out through Sony’s The Orchard.
