Lisa Klotz is a singer, songwriter, teacher, activist and performer with songs that touch upon themes that include social justice, environmental awareness, women’s rights, empowerment, family, conflict resolution and spirituality. Lisa has passion for songs that speak to humanity, kindness, what we have in common, and a strong belief in the power of music – to bring people together, raise spirit and energy, to heal, and create peace.

In college, Lisa was introduced to the music of Holly Near and the women’s and peace movements. She helped organize song circles at the Seneca Women's Encampment for a Future of Peace and Justice, Take Back the Night marches in Ithaca, NY, and at her home. In 1986, she joined the Great Peace March from New York to Washington, DC and hosted Dennis Banks (founder of the American Indian Movement) when he was in NYC on a speaking tour. In the early 1990’s she helped to start a monthly pasta songwriting and sharing circle for the NYC Friends of Clearwater.

After a long period of teaching, education advocacy, and raising two daughters, she returned to singing and songwriting with the help of vocal teacher and mentor Sloan Wainwright, David Roth, and the SummerSongs community. Her latest collection of songs are here on “Morning Sun.”
