PEAS AND CARROTS BAND - Key Persons

It was by her parents that Lisa, a.k.a. "Peas", was given her strong musical roots, the kind of roots little veggies need to grow big and strong! In a household decorated by the vocal harmonies of the Beatles or the raw emotion of the Doors, it is easy to understand the direction her life went. Originally from Nutley, NJ, Lisa's musical background began in early grammar school by playing the recorder & singing in the school choir, but it wasn't until the age of 15 that she dusted off her mother's ancient acoustic guitar & began "strumming her 6-string". Two years later she taught music to children at Sankanac, a summer sleep-away camp, and then auditioned for, and was accepted into, the NJ All-State Choir (oh, our little "Peas" is growing up!). After a few years of working 9 to 5, Lisa ventured into the world of retail management. Many of the next 8 years were spent in the entertainment industry, a position that brought her closer to where she really wanted to be...in a stew of people & music. In 2008, her dream was beginning to become a reality when she helped to develop and took the position as the main instructor for "Peas & Carrots Music" a children's entertainment company providing educational music presentations in New Jersey, New York and Pennsylvania. So the only thing that could take a great situation and make it perfect is to find a musical partner who loves living, breathing & playing music, someone who shares her same musical interests, someone who wants to sing the songs, play the songs & live the songs...
