LISA WETTON
(Vocals)
“In a world where brute force as a means to an end has only brought hurt to many, a gentler, more compassionate means is the new paradigm. Imagine a revolution based in only love for all sentient beings? Yet this has been the way right under our noses for over two thousand years. The time is now for us to start practicing this as a means, not to an end, but to a beginning. I believe the UPF project is well on the path to this new beginning, and I’m looking forward to paying it forward with Mark and the rest of the Fraternity.”
Lisa Wetton took up formal drum lessons in 1997 whilst studying for her Medical Boards, and bought her first drum kit, a Gretsch 4 piece jazz kit. Since then, and many drum kits later, she continues to practice medicine, sing, and play as a sessions musician with groups in the U.S., most notably as the touring drummer/percussionist for progressive rock group, Edison’s Children. She has performed with West African drum troop, Adanfo, and studied Middle Eastern hand drumming and Latin percussion. She most recently performed with Bowie guitarist, Earl Slick and Rolling Stones vocalist, Bernard Fowler. She is a regular as part of an ensemble group of Central New York’s most talented musicians at The Ridge Tribute Tuesdays. She runs progressive music agency, SmokeWind Music and Productions.
