“I hired Lisa Grey to promote The Ginn Sisters second CD Blood Oranges. TGS' first CD was never released to radio, so this was a big job promoting relative unknowns. She walked me through every step of the process, gave me realistic expectations and then exceeded those expectations at every step along the way.
Blood Oranges was the top truly independent CD on the Americana chart in 2006 and peaked at #24. We still sell Downloads every day and have no idea why except that somewhere out there, someone is spinning Blood Oranges because of Lisa Grey.”
Bill Passalacqua
Manager, The Ginn Sisters
“As a recording artist and the producer & host of a nationally syndicated radio show, I’ve worked with dozens of radio promoters from both sides of the fence. Lisa Grey is a rare find in a saturated field of players who will gladly take your money (as an artist) and send you swag (as a radio show) without the blink of an eye. Ms. Grey, on the other hand, consistently sends me the good stuff, and her follow up is nothing short of a work of art – thorough, yet not pushy. A joy to work with!”
Todd Mack
Singer/songwriter & host of the Off the Beat-n-Track Radio Show
“Lisa doesn’t hesitate to represent a new artist if she feels they have something we need to hear. Her job may be thankless at times, contacting countless media presenters hoping to steal away their busy ears for just a moment. She always has a smile and she is always gracious. I now trust that when she calls me that she has something I need to hear.”

"Lisa is great to work with. She explains things patiently and is very accessible when you have questions. She tailors the campaign to the artist, is friendly and well-regarded in the industry, and gets results. I am happy to work with her."

“Lisa Grey takes a "hands-on" approach to helping her musical clients. It doesn't end when she sends out the press release. She really cares about the music, and works hard to get the message out. "Here's an artist you'll love!" she says, and (because she knows my taste) she's often right.”

"Lisa is an expert in her field and a joy to work with. She knows the radio biz and has good relationships with the music directors that decide who to play on their stations. I highly recommend her services to others seeking radio promotion.

"When I receive CDs from Lisa, I know to pay attention - Even if I don't know the artist, I know I'll be listening to the best!"

"Hiring Lisa Grey to handle our first radio campaign was one of the wisest decisions we ever made as a band. Lisa's fine work opened doors for us that might otherwise have been closed. Additionally, her warm, friendly professionalism made us feel totally at ease. We couldn't recommend Lisa's work more highly."

“Lucky--and blessed--is the musical artist who finds Lisa Grey in his or her corner. For the past decade Lisa has been a sincere and energetic advocate of the singer-songwriter scene, ready to extol the charms of folks you already know and those you should get to know, full of understanding of how a song "works"--and who else you should hear next. When I don't trade shop-talk with Lisa for two or so weeks I begin to get nervous that I'm missing some good music.”
Thomas Staudter
Music Writer
(The New York Times, Relix Magazine, Downbeat)
Lisa is an absolute joy to work with! Her level of connection and enthusiasm and hard work for the projects that she takes on is an Indy artist's dream."
"She investes her heart at every level of the campaign from thecreation of promotional materials, thru her follow up with the stations (and who wouldn't want to talk to Lisa on the phone?), to her clear and regular reports on what's happening where' with your record.
"Her spark and warmth toward the stations that played us created lasting relationships that still bring great opportunitues to our band today."
Joziah Longo

"Working with Lisa is a pleasure. She loves her work and she gives a hundred and ten percent to her clients - I look forward to working with her again soon."

“Lisa Grey is an absolute joy to work with. In a relatively short radio campaign with my first CD she got me on over 125 stations nationwide. One of the most organized people I've ever met, she gave me great advice on promotion, marketing, website design, even down to the order of the songs on my CD.
She seems to know everyone in the business and has a wonderful knack for being able to connect her clients with just the right DJ, club owner, festival organizer or fellow artist. And to top it off, she loves the music and has a great sense of humor, which is a great relief to all of us artists when we hit those rough patches in the road. Long live Lisa Grey!”
David Goldman
Singer/Songwriter (Summer with Juliet)
"Lisa Grey invariably works with the highest quality of performers."
Jim Zimmermann
Founder and Director,

"Lisa Grey is a delight to work with. She is extremely proactive and helpful on so many levels. We were very pleased with the amount of airplay our CD received and we would definitely use Blue River Promotions to promote our next release."
Open Book
(Michele Rubin and Rick Gedney)
"Lisa has been instrumental with the promotion of Independent Artists looking for a big break for their new releases as well as giving of her time and ideas to other artists who want to reach that level. Talking with Lisa Grey is one of the few bright spots for my own 'Music Call' days and one of the few promoters who not only has listened to the CD she's promoting [NOT as funny as it sounds] but is a solid proponent and believer in the music and the artists."
