"...that pretty little pixie.."

"...that pretty little pixie was a musician through and through. She knew her chops and busted ass to get there. Then she opened her mouth. Good Lord! She barely comes up to my ribcage but she has got the voice of a serious belter, and refreshing. What really makes it is that when she sings a song..you can't imagine it being sung any other way."-Chopperman, Adventure Rider, WA. - Adventure Rider


"She might remind you of.."

" She might remind you of Aretha Franklin or Bessie Smith."

Lisa Marshall has had the honor of performing with Big Brother and the Holding Company and with her first original group, Peculiar Boogie, she opened for Blues greats such as Robben Ford, Koko Taylor and Little Milton. Her then band self released 2 CDs and sold over 15,000 copies collectively and toured the West Coast receiving airplay from KPFK 90.7FM Los Angeles, CA. ; KPIG-Monterey , CA.
As a solo asrtist Lisa has performed live at KBCS 91.3FM Bellevue Community College, KKMS 1150am with the Dirty Girls, her fabulous 3 women who sing 3 part harmony, and call and answer vocals.
A native of Virginia Beach, VA., Lisa Marshall's influences began on Chicks Beach in a hippie neighborhood. Her young parents' large record collection exposed her to a colorful palette of music. Her Mother loved Elvis, Motown, Funk and Disco. Her Dad liked the Blues..straight, rockin', & psycedelic blues.
At 21, Marshall took off to California where she would spend the next 13 years playing the club scene from Gay bars to the Sunset strip. In that time she fronted Peculiar Boogie, an original band she co-founded. She also co-wrote the music. Some of the highlights of that era were opening for Robben Ford up the California Coast, Koko Taylor, Rosie Flores, and Big Brother and the Holding Company.
In addition to being lead singer in Peculiar Boogie, Lisa has made many guest appearances with other bands.
She moved to Seattle in 2002 where guitarist Becky Coltman of PB and Marshall continued Peculiar Boogie with guest musicians and Lisa playing bass.
Currently, Lisa is touring the Southeast with her new self-released album, Simple.
The new songs bring in elements of the early Soul/R&B days with a bit of a rock/psychedelic vibe and even gospel. Lyrically, Marshall writes abstract driven by her political convictions, and belief to put out into the world positive and empowering images and ideas. Her influences range from the Soul singers of the late 60's/early 70's like Aretha Franklin, Mavis Staples, and Janis Joplin to the rock jams of Led Zeppelin, and The Rolling Stones...
Lisa Marshall plays solo and with her band and is excited about booking a European tour and playing SXSW!
