BAY AREA VOCALIST LISA LINDSLEY WILL DEBUT HER NEW SHOW “I LIKE MEN!”
AT THE RRAZZ ROOM IN SAN FRANCISCO, CA
SUNDAY JULY 31ST AT 8:00PM
FEATURING KELLY PARK , DAN FABRICANT AND EDDIE MARSHALL
Following Lisa’s sold out show, I’ve Got a Lot of Livin’ To Do at The Jazz School and her sold out and standing room only CD release concert of “Everytime We say Goodbye” at Piedmont piano with Grammy nominated George Mesterhazy, she previews her new show, “I Like Men!”
Sprinkled with comedy and songs like, The Boy Next Door, Someday My Prince Will Come, Twisted and Gee Baby, Ain't I Good To You? Lindsley brings a sense of comedy to old standards to create an experience you won’t soon forget.
“Every great song has a complete story in it, with a beginning, middle, and end,” Lindsley says. “When you’re singing you have to be connected to the words, or there’s nothing there, you have to have an emotional connection to the song. I want to tell the audience the story of the song, and my experience with acting helps that immensely.”
Lisa Lindsley was born and raised in Ogden, Utah, the daughter of a jazz-loving father and a former film actress mother who’d left Hollywood because of the McCarthy-era blacklist. By high school Lisa had discovered musical theater, a passion that carried through to college. She attended the prestigious California Institute for the Arts (CalArts) theater program, then spent a decade touring and performing with The Imagination Company.
Raising and homeschooling three daughters put her performing ambitions on the backburner for a long time, but in recent years she developed a successful career as a voice-over artist and, inspired by her daughters’ own involvement in musical theater, she took the plunge into singing.
The Bay Area’s rich pool of jazz education has proven invaluable—from her classes at Contra Costa College with Roger Letson, who vocal group, Vocal Flight, was a six-time winner of DownBeat magazine’s student music award in the college vocal group division; to her studies with Maye Cavallaro, Laurie Antonioli, and Pamela Rose at the Jazzschool in Berkeley and her on-the-job training with veteran pianist/drummer Kelly Park.
Last year, Lindsley enrolled in the Jazzschool Institute’s demanding jazz studies degree program. She’s found that “the work has made me freer with my interpretation and has sharpened my ear. It has given me an increased appreciation for the jazz greats.”
On Sunday July 31st she will be joined by Eddie Marshall on drums, Dan Fabricant on bass and Kelly Park on piano. The concert takes place at the Hotel Nikko’s The Rrazz Room at 222 Mason Ave. in San Francisco. Tickets are $20, call 415-394-1189 or order online at www.therrazzroom.com under “buy tickets”.
