Sarah Goslee Reed

Sarah Goslee Reed grew up in a musical household - her father played the bassoon in the Cleveland Orchestra and her mother played the cello and string bass. There was always music, mostly live, coming from the house. The folk music of the sixties was very influential, so she taught herself to play the guitar, based upon her knowledge of the violin, while learning songs by listening to records. Sarah's newest CD, It's About Time, is a tribute to her dad, George Goslee, former principal bassoonist with the Cleveland Orchestra. Previous solo recordings, Like The Light of the Moon and Cowboy on the Highway, also feature her dad playing his bassoon - an unusual accompaniment for folk music. Classical music is still a big piece of her life, as she plays violin in the local county symphony, and recently attended a summer chamber music workshop with members of the Manhattan String Quartet. Besides music, Sarah has a Master of Science Degree in Biology and has worked both in research and clinical microbiology. In addition, she loves nature and animals and surrounds herself with both. She lives in rural Mount Vernon, Ohio with her husband.

Lisa Hill Biales

Lisa Hill Biales grew up in a family where music was always heard. Her mother taught her to sing and was actively involved in Community Theater, and her father played music professionally in a Dixieland/Jazz Band. Lisa's brother showed her how to play guitar at age twelve, and she immediately began performing for church services and weddings. A very diversified voice allows her to perform pop, folk, rock, blues and jazz music. In 2003, Lisa earned a Master of Arts Degree in Theater and was honored to play the same role that her mother played twenty five years earlier, Fraulein Schneider, in "Cabaret." In addition to her solo CD, "Music Box," Lisa and her mother recorded an album, "Kindred Spirits," and have performed together with her father's jazz band. Lisa's love of music and instruments have led her to pick up guitar, bass, accordion and banjo, but nothing can compare to her love of singing and harmonizing.
