Soma Star

After a decade of singing backup in others bands, Lisa Zarov decided to follow her own muse. So she took a hiatus from performing, taught herself to play guitar and honed her craft as a songwriter. In 2004, she worked with producer Chuck Gladfelter (Dovetail Joint, Ivory Wire) and put out her first EP of original music, Walk-In. She then began recruiting local veteran musicians to support her debut. Somewhere along the road of rehearsing and collaborating with these musicians, Soma Star was born. The lineup is: Lisa, Kevin Holland (Jennifer Peterson, Lindsie Reitz), Patrick Barrett (Marigold Engine), Dario Civinelli (Soulfix) and Bill Arroyo (Freak Magnet).



Soma Star's vibe ranges from lush and ethereal to aggressive and hard driving. What remains constant are unique and evocative melodies and a wall-of-guitar sound that has become the bands signature.
