ABOUT LISA MARIE > Not only a blues shouter in the tradition of Big Joe Turner and Wynonie Harris, this Boston native carries on the sweet gospel soul of Sam Cooke, the yearning of Hank Williams Sr., and cartoonish fun of Louis Jordan. From jump-swing to swamp boogie, Piedmont blues to funky New Orleans grooves, her deep husky vocals express an unmistakeable joy. Lisa Marie tells her audience that "joy and sorrow are two sides of the same coin"... This woman is a storyteller, with a gift that allows you to fall deeply in love with a song - sometimes one you may have heard before. Check out the August 2011 Boston Globe article by Lenny Meglioa here.
CD RELEASES > The indie release, Wake Up, Baby! from LISA MARIE & ALL SHOOK UP is an "upbeat and funky gumbo of New Orleans-inspired R&B, swingin' jump-blues, hip-shakin' rockabilly and blistering soul with catchy tunes that are sure to become instant favorites." Wake Up, Baby! tempts the listener with 13 original tracks and features members of Roomful Of Blues, the Duke Robillard Band, Jason James & The Bay State Houserockers, and Loaded Dice. The new acoustic CD from LISA MARIE & SILVERTONE STEVE, Shoulder Of The Road (available through Black Rose Records) is "a musical landscape of acoustic roots music that spans country, gypsy folk, rockabilly, bluegrass, soul and blues ~ spilling lovely harmonies and tight acoustic arrangements in 11 original songs, along with 3 well-chosen gems by Nina Simone, Willie Dixon, and The Coasters... A tasty debut release by two talented New England songwriters."
