Single
Lisa Bastoni has received nominations from both Boston Music Awards and New England Music Awards over the years but the most important reason to celebrate her may be due to her latest single, “No Kings in America.” It’s not just a catchy folk song, it channels Bob Dylan, Woody Guthrie and Pete Seeger to make a striking statement of the political landscape we are living in currently. The raw emotion of the song is poignant and powerful as she takes us down a path questioning the current government’s impact on the N.I.H, the environment, our schools, D.E.I., the F.D.A. and more. “No Kings in America” is a reflective tune and a reminder music can be a catalyst for social change. While it may be only Lisa’s voice that sings the song, it gives us all a voice to remind those in power that no one is above the law. (Lois P. Turpedro)
