“Lisa Fischer in concert is addictive… transcendent” – Star Tribune
When the iconic Ms. Lisa Fischer sings, she brings a joyous sense of discovery to every setting. The Grammy and Oscar winning powerhouse vocalist is at the peak of her powers, blazing her own path. Additionally, she carries traces of the legendary stars she’s collaborated with over four decades. However, Fischer is a constellation in her own right, singing with what Keith Richards describes as “amazing power, energy, and projection”. Also, he should know: Fischer toured with the Rolling Stones for twenty-six years.
Finally, Fischer has taken her rightful place among America’s greatest vocalists. She truly does it all: she can stretch out in an intimate duo with jazz piano maestro Taylor Eigsti. Then, she raises the roof with the spiritually charged Gullah funk combo Ranky Tanky. She creates luminous soundscapes onstage with the dancers of Alonzo King LINES Ballet. Also, she follows her uninhibited muse with her trio Grand Baton and their organic fusion of Caribbean psychedelic soul and jazzy progressive rock. “A talent that comes once in a lifetime,” declares Roberta Flack. “Like Haley’s Comet, her brilliance is dazzling and brings light into the world.”
At first glance Fischer might seem like a paradox. She spent much of her career exulting in the role of the ultimate team player as an elite backup singer. She shared the stage with Luther Vandross, the Rolling Stones, Sting, Tina Turner, and Nine Inch Nails. But when her story was featured in the Oscar-winning 2013 documentary 20 Feet From Stardom, Fischer experienced a course-changing epiphany. “I was always looking at the next tour, the next gig,” she said. “The film gave me a chance to take stock and realize I could start defining my own path.”
