Lisa has worked in every facet of publicity at Shuman Public Relations for more than 20 years, but began her career in music as a singer, performing roles such as Musetta in La bohème and Nannetta in Falstaff, as well as her favorite role -- because there are no solos and all the high notes -- Frasquita in Carmen. Lisa has a Bachelor of Music in Vocal Performance from the University of Nevada Las Vegas and studied opera at the Boston Conservatory. She loves all genres of music and enjoys going to concerts from classical to classic rock to pop (her first concert was Loretta Lynn at the age of 8). When not performing her PR duties she watches Bravo! shows on repeat.

Harrison is a devoted advocate for contemporary storytelling through music. He was first exposed to classical music by taking Suzuki piano lessons at the age of 4. As a kid, it wasn't hard for him to develop an ear for notable compositions as his dad regularly played Mussorgsky CDs for him to fall asleep to each night. By attending regular concerts at the Nashville Symphony, he was touched by each performance as they resonated with stories playing out within his life. At The New School (Eugene Lang College of Liberal Arts), Harrison got his bachelor's in Contemporary Music, studying music composition and production. Publicity plays a crucial role in his work as he exposes himself to all corners of music: new and old, experimental and traditional. In his free time, he enjoys reading, exploring the outdoors, and catching up on new and emerging media.
