Lisa Kindred took her first steps in Buffalo, NY, listening to a DJ who called himself "The Hound Dog" playing the blues on Sunday morning radio - Muddy Waters, Koko Taylor, Robert Johnson - and the seed was planted. On Steppin’ Up In Class, Lisa Kindred called on old friends and favorite players: Austin deLone on piano and vocals; Dennis Geyer, guitar and vocals; Dick McDonough, drums and vocals; Willie Riser on bass. What Lisa's done is much more than a step beyond what came before - she is, as the handicappers say when a thoroughbred takes it to a higher level - Steppin' Up In Class. Bet on it!
