TOWANDA, PA – July, 2023—Pennsylvania music makers, Lisa Bodnar and Whistle Grass,
have one mission: to perform a concert in all 67 PA counties, using their performances 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:
Food Insecurity/Homelessness, The Environment, Arts/Education, Emergency First
Responders.
Lisa Bodnar, a singer-songwriter from Pennsylvania’s Lehigh Valley, embodies the
resilience and optimism of the region through her music. Despite facing personal
challenges like home destruction from floods, Lisa has remained positive and used her
experiences to influence her musical creations. Her latest album, “40 Years in the Desert,” is
a testament to her best work, featuring songs that range from haunting and reflective to
upbeat and joyful. Having started her musical journey early in life, inspired by her parents’
love for violin and California music, Lisa began writing songs at a young age and gained
recognition both locally and in Philadelphia. Her debut album, “Maybe I Did,” received
acclaim, and her sophomore release, “Come Hell or High Water,” earned Grammy
nominations. Lisa’s music is celebrated for its uplifting spirit and captivating vocals. In her
latest album, she returns with a more stripped-down and organic sound, aiming to create
songs that evoke strong emotions and elevate listeners’ spirits.
On Friday, September 8, 2023, Lisa Bodnar and Whistlegrass will be performing a concert
at the Keystone Theatre in Towanda, PA. The event aims to raise funds for the Bradford
County Regional Arts Council (BCRAC), an organization that plays a vital role in the upkeep
and maintenance of both historic BCRAC Theatres, The Sayre, and The Keystone, as well as
funding arts programming in the region. The concert promises to be an enriching
experience, and 100% of the ticket proceeds will be donated to support the Arts Council’s
efforts.
“It’s important to recognize the value of the Keystone holds our community,” says a
representative for the Arts council. “It’s really fun to see this great event where people from
all over the area can not only enjoy a great night of music, but can help preserve these
iconic community spaces.” Tickets for the event are priced at $15.00 per person for adults
and $10.00 for students/seniors. Those interested can purchase tickets through
bcrac.ticketleap.com/pa-67-tour/.
The PA67 Tour plans on bringing this concert to every Pennsylvania county, showcasing
exceptional talents like Lisa Bodnar and Whistlegrass while simultaneously making a
positive impact on the community by supporting vital causes. Previous shows have been
held in different counties, and upcoming performances are scheduled for other regions in
Pennsylvania throughout the year.
The joint efforts of Lisa Bodnar, Whistlegrass, and the Bradford County Regional Arts
Council aim to unite communities, promote the arts, and address critical community needs.
By attending the concert at the Keystone Theatre on September 8, 2023, patrons can enjoy
an evening of incredible music and contribute to a worthy cause that supports the
maintenance and upkeep of the historic BCRAC Theatres and arts programming in the
region. To learn more about Lisa Bodnar, the concert, and the Bradford County Regional
