“A Star of the future… and judging from the crowd at this show, the future is now!” So wrote a reviewer from the Aquarian Weekly, the leading mid-Atlantic region entertainment paper, after a performance by Lisa Bouchelle.
Lisa has sung backup for Bruce Springsteen, Jon Bon Jovi, Rob Thomas of Matchbox Twenty, Cyndi Lauper, and Daryl Hall, among others. She has opened for Bryan Adams, Kansas, Nancy Sinatra, John Waite, David Bromberg, Hot Tuna, Southside Johnny & The Jukes, Richard Marx, Sophie B. Hawkins, Gary U.S. Bonds, Nils Lofgren, Dar Williams, The Wailers, and members of Phish and the Jerry Garcia Band, among others. She has appeared on NBC, ABC, CBS, Fox, ESPN, the Tennis Channel, Comcast shows “Backstage” and “One On One With Steve Adubato,” the “Jersey Guys” Radio show on New Jersey’s 101.5, the morning show on New York’s WPLJ, and NPR (National Public Radio), which highlighted her propensity for “busking” in the Philadelphia train station.
Other credits include being invited to perform in Japan last year, a duet with James LeBrie, the singer of Dream Theater on his solo release, and an appearance on the hit TV show “Gossip Girls.”
Lisa first started singing at a young age, and sang non-stop... because although her parents loved her deeply, the only time they would stop their constant arguing was when little Lisa sang. Now, after losing her father to complications from a heart operation, and her mother to alcoholism, she still finds refuge in her music.
And that music has kept her going, whether it be going on tour by driving herself thousands of miles around the country in her car, or flying to Japan to perform for Japanese fans. Her style has been compared to Sheryl Crow, Jewel, and Jason Mraz, but what sets her music apart is an edge reminiscent of classic artists such as Neil Young and Tom Petty.
Lisa’s last CD reached #1 on two indie charts, and #4 on the college charts. With the release of Bleu Room With A Red Vase, she is poised to be a breakthrough artist in 2010. Lisa decided to produce the CD herself, eschewing fancy production and going for the raw, acoustic sound which she has always loved. The songs range from a playful duet with John Popper, the singer of Blues Traveler, to a moving ode to her mother, which she recorded live in the studio. In addition to John Popper, it contains contributions from many great musicians, including David Bromberg, Rob Hyman of the Hooters, Bobby Bandiera, Glen Burtnik, John Eddie, Bob Burger, Lorenza Ponce, and Erin Hill.
