Lisa Marshall Lisa Marshall is a Rhythm & Blues singer influenced by Motown, Soul, and Rock n’ Roll. She is vocally inspired by Aretha Franklin, Gladys Knight, Mavis Staples and Janis Joplin. Her song writing is primarily influenced by R&B, rock, and gospel. Marshall lived in Seattle, performing solo with her semi-hollow body electric guitar as well as with the three part harmony vocals of the Dirty Girls! She has released her first solo CD titled ‘Simple’ in May of 2008. The vocals are true to her R&B/Soul style. The songs encompass a gritty, funky vibe. Lyrically, she draws from early Blues singers speaking her beliefs & emotion on day to day living experiences. Her CD ‘Simple’ is available at her shows and various digital sites. Tracks can be heard on radio stations in The U.S. and Europe. Marshall currently resides in Austin, Texas, and is playing regularly in Austin with her band assembled from some of the finest musicians in town. The Lisa Marshall Band is Mary Harsh on Bass, Russell Scanlon on Guitar, and Johnny Radelat on Drums. The band recently opened for the Red Elvises at the famed Continental Club. The Lisa Marshall Band performs every Thursday at TCs Lounge, one of the oldest juke joints left in Austin, monthly at The Gallery at The Continental Club, as a duo ( with Mary Harsh on bass) at Blu Cafe every wednesday, and starting Mondays at Cheatham Street Warehouse. She is also putting together her Austin ‘Dirty Girls’ to complete her band. She will continue to tour as often as she can around the Southeast as she had been doing quite extensively, and looks forward to touring in Europe. Born and raised in Virginia Beach, VA, Marshall was brought up on The Beatles, Blues ala Janis Joplin, the Allman Brothers, Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young, and her mother’s favorite, Elvis and Motown. In addition to vocals, Lisa also plays guitar, bass, flute, harmonica, drums and percussion. Her self taught nature and her adoration for strong, soulful female vocalists is experienced through her music which weaves gut belting call and answer style vocals through R&B, funky rhythms. Before living in Seattle and Austin, Marshall also lived in Los Angeles, CA having moved there at the age of 21. It was in L.A. where she co-founded and fronted Peculiar Boogie with Rebekah Coltman (guitar) & Susan Joyner (keys)for a decade. Their band was a unique blend of female fronted Southern Rock featuring R&B style vocals and harmonies with a twist. The band played and showcased at some of L.A’s hot spots such as Troubadour, and the Roxy. Robben Ford, Koko Taylor, and Big Brother and the Holding Company are some of the acts that Peculiar Boogie supported. The band received air play in California and Europe regularly. Marshall's drive to learn and push herself is evident by her current CD, ‘Simple’, where she is the singer, songwriter, producer, and engineer. This self produced CD ‘Simple’ has sold over 2, 000 copies and is available on CDBaby, Itunes and other digital sites. Marshall’s live performance delivers high energy with a sincere appreciation for her audience.
