Lisa Turner always
brings down the house wherever she appears. She plays what might
be described as Celtic-tinged acoustic power folk-rock. Her songs
are revealing and deeply personal, yet easy to relate to. Lisa
is right in the vanguard of the new generation of female songwriters
who not only sing, but have taken the time to master their instrument
as well (in her case, the guitar). She's got a clean, pure, agile
voice reminiscent of Shawn Colvin, and that, coupled with some
smokin' tight guitar licks, makes her a very compelling act to
watch onstage. Paul Anderson of the LA Times said, "Her crystal-clear
voice will make your head turn. And once you hear her folk-based
songs, you're hooked..."
In 2003, Lisa Turner created quite a stir in the Hollywood area
winning the inaugural "Performing Songwriters Boot Camp"
Competition at Highland Grounds in Hollywood. Her pulsing guitar, her Melissa Ethridge meets Sarah McLachlin vocal delivery, and her distinctive,
very long and thick blonde hair get her noticed whenever and wherever
she performs. Influenced by "all the music that ever touched
me", she cites Patti Griffin, the Indigo Girls, Paula Cole,
Ian Anderson of Jethro Tull, Bob Seeger, and Shawn Colvin as some
of her favorite songwriters.
Lisa Turner delivers smartly crafted songs in a variety of colors
and textures in plainspoken stories and with honesty and depth
of emotion. Moving songs of loss and heartbreak. Songs that remind
us it's the simple things that matter most. Songs that tell us
to open our hearts and love.
