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

"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

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.
