Blues Is Her Business And Business Is Booming

Her voice pairs well deep down in the delta. You can find her in the pubs and clubs of New England belting out a great diversity of songs such as the one posted (Willie and the Hand Jive), Midnight Special, Ring of Fire, Walking the Dog, etc. She recently started playing at GASWorks on Artists' Row in Salem, MA. There you can find her voice stopping people in their tracks. She can even be compared as the Siren of the blues, trapping people with her voice from far away and carrying them down the corridors of the Row to marvel in her ability to sing her heart out. I’m lucky enough to call her a friend.

Lisa Marie’s a Boston based blues singer that shares her talent all the way from RI up to Maine. Her voice is mostly compared to Janis Joplin (although she doesn’t really sing a lot of Janis) she explains that she loves just singing songs that she listens to and loves. I have no complaints, there’s no better feeling than sitting on a chair at the Row across from Lisa and listening to her wide array of songs (something different every time). She comes with her little box of musical nick naks and just sings better than anyone I’ve seen in years.

There’s no slowing down for her, from the first song she belts out to the very last she gives it her all. It’s not rare to see a crowd of dancing fiends shake their stuff while Lisa makes the songs her own. She always has an amazing guitarist sitting next to her be it Eric Reirden, Silvertone Steve, etc. Also the great Mamadou Diop sits in every time he has a chance and wails on the African drum on the other side of Lisa and never misses a beat with every song she puts down. I advise everyone who reads this to check out Lisa’s website at http://www.zyworld.com/lisamarie13/ and watch the video that I’ve posted above. She’s always amazing live. Not only is she an amazing singer but a really great person all in all. Thank you Lisa Marie for the fun times.
