ONE KIND WORD PROJECT
Hello Dearest Music Fans,
While we have such glaring examples of unkindness all around us, and an uprising of people who want to make a difference, I have a team of creative people gathered together to make a powerful music video using my song “One Kind Word”. We are launching a funding campaign to raise $- We will need volunteers to help with administration, marketing and promo, and a crew to haul camera equipment on a 3 day shoot.
The “One Kind Word Project” has partnered with (fill in) non-profit organization. Who will benefit? Homeless kids, adults, giving them shelter, food, clothing, jobs and most importantly respect and a purpose. A percentage of everything we receive will go to (fill in).
Music has always been my passion – it transcends our differences, mends broken hearts, heals communities as does acts of kindness. Please help us make this film. It is based on a true story that you will hear about in the short promo video. Please donate today. Love conquers all.
Peace Out~

2015
Dream Wild Records (President, Lisa Nemzo) is on the precipice of becoming a co-op label in the Bay Area. With projects for late 2015 brewing, specific artists TBA, it’s an exciting prospect to be launching the label with a new vision- was a dream, now a reality! Sooo exciting… (Big Band, Indie singer songwriter, singles from Bad Ass Boots, and a provocative, guitarist reminiscent of the late Michael Hedges. 2016 will be a year of CD releases for Dream Wild Records.
July- August 2015
Lisa was approached by Michael Wesley Hughes to produce a special project. Michael and Lisa have worked steadily for two years on his debut solo CD “Tryin’ To Come Back Home”. Classic rock- blues, (which includes Lisa Nemzo/Artie Colatrella song “Arlington”) which tells Michael’s story of his experiences in the VietNam War; being wounded, left for dead and surviving unthinkable circumstances especially after returning to the states, dealing with PTSD, and the aftermath of exposure to Agent Orange. His story is every veteran’s story. 28 million Veterans are now in our population, with 22 suicides per day, Michael felt compelled to do something about it. The CD is expected to be released late summer, early fall of 2015. Mastering is March 15th, 2015. Big plans surround this project.

Last January Emmy Award winning composer, Denise Gentilini and Internationally acclaimed recording artist/songwriter Lisa Nemzo began co-writing a musical about the Armenian Genocide. Inspired by the true story of Denise’s grandparents, Kourken and Malvine Handjian, the musical weaves the atrocities of the genocide and their journey. They survived the death marches, met in a refugee camp in Greece, married at 15 and 19 and stayed together for nearly 75 years. 26 songs, plus a storybook, written by Denise and Lisa have garnered the attention of Denver based award winning theatre director Christy Montour-Larson. The show is scheduled for a premier performance. As a program of The Armenians of Colorado, to commemorate the ONE HUNDRED YEAR anniversary of the genocide, this coming April 21, 2015 the work will be debuted at June Swaner Gates Concert Hall in the Newman Center for the Performing Arts at the University of Denver.
