songwriting
Lisa Aschmann has an emotional style that's pure, simple and sincere. Her musical styles include folk, R&B, jazz, gospel, country, pop, bluegrass, Latin & Celtic-inflected music. Less common, but still part of her catalog include some rock, rockabilly, Cajun, classical and Calypso music. Varied and “out-of-the-box” thinking contributes to this variety.

Her book, 1000 Songwriting Ideas is a source of inspiration for songwriters and is published by Hal Leonard.
