Lisa Bodnar is planning something that might seem nearly impossible: a concert tour that covers all 67 counties in Pennsylvania.

Bodnar hopes to have all the arrangements set next year for the “PA 67 Tour” with her band Whistlegrass.

The tour was to begin?two years ago. The first stop was Groundhog Day, February 2020, in Punxsutawney, Jefferson County. The coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic shutdown put everything on hold.

Lisa Bodnar and Whistlegrass perform, 7 p.m. July 30, Nineteenth Street Theatre, Civic Theatre of Allentown. Opening the concert is Steve Brosky.

What makes things additionally challenging is that Bodnar and her band play original music and do no cover tunes.

During an interview in their Allentown home, Bodnar and her husband, Dann Araque, the band’s guitarist, have no compunctions about playing for audiences unfamiliar with their music.

“We play a lot of different genres,” says Araque. “We read the crowd to tell us what they want.”

“No one ever likes the same song,” says Bodnar. “Every one is different.”

Bodnar estimates she has about 150 of her compositions to choose from. They range from Americana to rock, country, folk, funk, waltzes, punk, and jazz in their occasional instrumental jams, and even a bit of dance music and disco.

All of it is tied together by Bodnar’s thoughtful and emotional lyrics, presented with a high-energy approach that encourages audience interaction. Bodnar accompanies herself on piano for about half of the songs.

“The lyrics are symbolic but based in reality. People can interpret them in their own way,” says Bodnar.

“Some are stories,” says Araque. “There can be social commentary hidden in them but it is not obvious. Sometimes there is a funny approach.”

“We write songs every day. So much is happening now. How can we not respond?” says Bodnar.

The concert at Civic represents the concept for the “PA 67 Tour.” Civic is the beneficiary.

“Every show will benefit a nonprofit organization,” says Bodnar. “All the proceeds go directly to them.”

“We want to help people get together to help each other,” says Araque.

For the “PA 67 Tour,” Bodnar has to find 67 venues, work with 67 non-profits, and find up to 67 sponsors.

“Each show will be special and maybe a little educational. There may be other types of artists,” says Araque.

At Civic, five visual artists will be display their work and discuss it.

“Steve [Brosky] will play. Then we will play. There will be time for a mixer with the artists with photo opportunities. It will be interactive and a lot of fun,” says Bodnar.

Says Brosky in a phone interview, “I’ll be playing as part of a four-piece band, doing songs you would not see me doing as part of a duo, more rocking and with a little more energy.”

Lisa Bodnar and Whistlegrass is to release a new album, “40 Years in the Desert,” in October. A single, “Best That I Can,” is to be released as a music video. Brosky contributed vocals on the album’s “I Love You, Friend,” which he will perform with Bodnar and Whistlegrass at Civic.

“I was honored that she asked me to be part of her recording,” Brosky says. He is also glad to be part of an evening of live original music, which he says has almost become a “forgotten art.”

Singer-songwriter Bodnar’s first album, “Maybe I Did,” was recorded in Doylestown. The producer recommended that she put a band together. She recorded her second album, “Come Hell or High Water,” in New York City.

Bodnar and Araque are working on another album featuring Whistlegrass, which includes Dan DeChellis, keyboards; Jess Corbin, vocals, accordion; Shawn Cavanaugh, bass, and Chris Cummings, drums.
