Congratulations Lisa! You make Portland and the CBA proud!
(Please note, due to her nomination for the Blues Music Awards, her entry as the CBA’s representative in the Best Self-Produced CD competition has become ineligible. That’s just how the rules are written and we were aware of this possibility in advance.)
