Water Under The Bridge, 1997 A little love-gone-wrong, a little down-home-grit,
a few tender-hearted memories and a pound of reckless hope. Water Under the Bridge is an
eclectic compilation for anyone who's ever had the courage to learn from the past and move
on. Original song writing by Hill County favorites Marilisa, Clint Hancock and Tomas
Lopez.
"(Marilisa) is as natural a performer as
a mockingbird in a cedar break."
-Hill Country Sun, July 1997
. Marilisa and The Velveeta
Underground, 1991 With a punchy, peppy, light folk swing, Marilisa and the Velveeta Underground
features original songs by Hill Country artist Marilisa. Sweet, soulful and sassy, this
collection will leave you smiling through your tears.
"homespun, socially conscious, folky,
jangly, Blue Bell ice cream..."
-Austin Chronicle, Jan. 25, 1991
"Marilisa's songs deal with families and
feelings...sort of folksy blues."
-Steve Davis, San Marcos Reporter, 1991
-Youtube Video of "The Unicorn Song"
Up In A Tree, 1994 Children's Cassette
A collection for the little ones, Up In A Tree offers traditional children's music such as
Kumbayah and Over the Rainbow alongside Marilisa's originals. Fun, uplifting and
educational, Up In A Tree will please audiences of all ages - from the young in age to the
young at heart.
"Up In A Tree is full of the sort of
upbeat music that can set children dancing. Odds are that adults will be dancing,
too!"
-Parenting in the 90's, November, 1994

Hill Country Artist
Marilisa
began her
singing/songwriting career at the age of 2, inventing songs almost as soon as she could speak. It wasn't
until many years later, however, that she decided to share her special gift with the
world. Devastated by losing 2 immediate family members in 1985, Marilisa began writing
songs as a way of dealing with her grief. The music helped in healing and offered a
release from her pain. Inspired by this, Marilisa found it more and more natural to
translate her personal experiences into words and tunes - using a bluesy folk style with a
touch of jazz to communicate her universal messages of love, strength and grit. Marilisa
performs regularly in Austin and around the Hill Country.
