LISA MARIE

Sizzlin' R&B and red-hot blues!

Lisa Marie and All Shook Up

"Seamless transitions from soulful dance numbers, to boogie-woogie piano blues, to fifties rockabilly and classic rock 'n' roll... Her originals are clever, catchy and bound to become favorites!"
 
"One of the most energetic and riveting live performances I have ever seen!"
 
"Incredible vocals - dynamic, emotional, and moving."
 
"Watching her, you get caught up in what is surely pure joy - and then there is that voice, WOW!"
 
"My husband was on his feet all night long and he doesn't even dance!"

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)

A tasty debut release by two talented New England songwriters."
