“Acclaimed poet and singer songwriter Lisa Forrest has released a hauntingly beautiful eleven track CD...Most of the lyrics were first penned as poems that Forrest eventually added music to for this her first full length disc. Recorded at the home studio of Jonathon Hughes who adds bass and organ here, Forrest surrounds herself with some of the best and brightest musicians from Western New York including Buffalo Music Hall of Fame members John Brady on guitar, Jim Whitford on Dobro and pedal steel, Rob Lynch on drums. Other musicians lending a hand include Ronnie Kowalewski, Doug Lambert, Marlene Mathews, David Mussen, Melissa Rapisardi, Paul Todaro and Jonas Westbrook... Check out "Black Dog's Lament", "Dear Lover", "Porcelain", "Sorry Song" and the beautiful title track "Oh Lake Erie". Fans of Kathleen Edwards, Blue Rodeo and Lucinda Williams will fall in love with this disc. Without a doubt one of my favorite local releases of 2011. ”

— Bob Silvestri, Best of WNY

“Forrest’s full-length debut, “Oh Lake Erie,” finds her joined by a selection of our area’s finest musicians, among them Jim Whitford, Rob Lynch, John Brady, Jonathan Hughes, Ronnie Kowalewski, Doug Lambert, Marlene Matthews, David Mussen, Melissa Rapisardi, Paul Todaro and Jonas Westbrook. Produced with a graceful subtlety by Hughes, “Oh Lake Erie” balances beautifully esoteric lyrics against sublime musical accompaniment. Rarely is such an evocative marriage of lyric and musical imagery achieved in what is ostensibly “pop music.” “Oh Lake Erie” is serene and welcoming, but it also runs deep.”

— Jeff Miers, The Buffalo News

“In the last few years, some of us—those who frequent the Sportsmen’s Tavern and Nietzsche’s on odd nights or the back room of Rust Belt Books—have had the pleasure of listening to local poet Lisa Forrest transform herself into a singer and a songwriter. The latest stage of Forrest’s evolution is the release of her first record, Oh Lake Erie, comprising 11 originals whose yearning evokes the great open mystery beside which we all live. ”

“Pure inspiration is ignorant of time and age – it hits without warning nor worry over circumstance. In the realm of music-making, an art form filled with child prodigies has its share of late-bloomers, and the story of Buffalo librarian/poet-turned singer/songwriter Lisa Forrest shares some similarities with that of Leonard Cohen, who was already an admired poet when he began to pay rent in the “Tower of Song” in his 30’s...Floating above fluid harmonies and rhythm guided by Hughes’ tasteful production, Forrest’s songs speak with a serenity offered only by open water – though only the title track is actually about Lake Erie, each song was written beside it. “I’d go out to the lake to write, and there’s such peace there – creativity pours out when you’re around the water,” Forrest said. “I really feel like Lake Erie is so influential to all of us in Buffalo. Whether we know it or not, that rhythm of the lake under us is a constant force that influences artis”
