Pennsylvania music makers, Lisa Bodnar and Whistlegrass have one mission: to provide concert events in all 67 PA counties to unite communities and help raise funds for those in need. These events are fundraisers for non-profit organizations whose work helps with one of the following community needs: Food Insecurity/Homelessness, The Environment, Arts/Education, and Emergency First Responders.
On Thursday, October 26 Lisa and her musical group will perform a concert at The Creamery in Kennett Square. The event is a fundraiser being hosted by the United Way of Southern Chester County (UWSCC). All net proceeds from ticket sales from the event will benefit UWSCC’s OXFORD FIRE FUND, which provides ongoing direct services to our neighbors who were affected by the fire.
Terry Vodery, the Director of UWSCC relayed the importance of this event: “After a disaster, it takes time for people to get back on their feet. For those affected by September’s tragic fire in Oxford, PA it may take a long time before things get back to normal. Our neighbors in Oxford will need food, health services, clothing, counseling, financial assistance, and other resources on an ongoing basis. Many thanks to Lisa Bodnar and Whistlegrass for joining with folks from all walks of life to lend a hand to those who need it most. This benefit concert is going to provide resources, help and hope to our neighbors in Oxford. Together, we’re standing by them to help rebuild what the fire has taken.
Let’s help make a difference in people’s lives!”

Lisa Bodnar and Whistlegrass officially launched in NYC in 2019 playing the Mercury Lounge with Vapors of Morphine. The group’s musical style primarily consists of Indie with an emphasis on Rock as well as elements from other genres such as Roots and Alt- Country. A singer-songwriter and DEKO Entertainment recording artist from Pennsylvania’s Lehigh Valley, Lisa’s music reflects the resilience and optimism of the region. Despite personal challenges, including home destruction from floods, Lisa has stayed positive and channeled her experiences into her music. Her latest album, 40 Years in the Desert, a collaboration with instrumentalist/producer from Quito, Ecuador, guitarist Dann Araque, showcases her best work with Bodnar’s unique vocal stylings and piano melodies pairing well with Araque’s ear- candy guitar musings to yield a variety of styles and genres. Lisa, Dann, and other members of Whistlegrass, Lehigh Valley musicians have been playing benefit concerts in counties in Pennsylvania to raise money for non-profit organizations whose work improves the quality of life of Pennsylvanians. They are currently planning the next round of dates for 2024 in their PA67 county tour.
