Lisa Dudley Veteran's Concert

Press Release         Contact:   Lisa Dudley  845-757-3314, Lisa@LisaDudley.comLisa Dudley to sing for Veterans
 Concert to benefit Fisher House – a home for families of hospitalized Veterans.
Sponsored by Ulster County Veterans and SCORE
 
KINGSTON,NY—DoRight Records recording artist, Lisa Dudley, will perform with her band the Prairie Dogs on Saturday November 7;  7-9pm at St. John's Church on Albany Avenue, Kingston, NY.  Cost is $10 in advance online (www.lisadudley.com) or $15 at the door.
 
The concert is a benefit for Fisher House, which is a place for families of hospitalized veterans to stay, when they don't live nearby.  It's being sponsored by the Ulster County Veterans and SCORE – "the Counselors to America's Small Business."
 
Both of Lisa Dudley's parents are Veterans who served during the Korean conflict.  "I come by my love of this country honestly," she proclaims.
 
Lisa Dudley is well known for her musical association with Veterans and patriotic themes.   Her new album, Harley Girl, visits many of the issues that are dear to veterans of all wars.
 
"Harry Moore, my co-writer on many of these songs, was a Vietnam Veteran.  We wrote these songs to be a healthy catharsis for the pent-up emotions and flash backs that veterans of all wars face.  "We wanted these songs to be fun -- but deep."
 
Dudley talks candidly about her concerns for Veterans' health care and benefits.
 
"This is an incredible opportunity for me to speak out for veterans issues. After bravely serving their country, they deserve more."
 
According to Dudley, "Harley Girl" -- the cover song off her new album -- was given to her in a dream after a friend of hers, another Vietnam Veteran, died at a Harley Davidson motorcycle rally in Shreveport, Louisiana.  "We're hoping the bikers will give their support to the veterans and come on out!"
 
Lisa promises to play such popular songs as "Dangerous Curves" and "Angel on My Shoulder." 
 
"The soldiers love Angel on My Shoulder.  They say angels brought them safely home from battle."
 
Lisa Dudley is part Cherokee and part Blackfoot and she lived for years in Nashville working for the Native American Indian association.  She performs in an awesome collection of vintage cowboy boots and turquoise jewelry, singing Americana music with a touch of gospel and a pinch of country.
 
Her music can be purchased online at www.LisaDudley.com or downloaded through iTunes. For more information contact Lisa Dudley at 845-757-3314.
