Lisa Richards Waiting to Fly Tour

Lisa Richards Waiting to Fly Tour – Indie Folk Nouveau

This Australian songwriter has a life story that could easily grace the silver screen, from acapella busking in Kings Cross, Sydney, to hanging out with Debbie Harry at SXSW, playing CBGB’s in NYC as well as living in both New York City and Austin Texas for many years, before returning home to Australia. With a delightfully unusual voice, part world weary howl and part youthful exuberance, and a catalogue of powerful songs, she will have you swaying and hollering.

Lisa’s work is as diverse as it is personal. From stories about her teenage step kids to re-discovering her life in Australia, the only things that stay consistent is the heartfelt emotion instilled in Richard’s fiercely unique voice Inspired by such diverse artists as Ella Fitzgerald, Lucinda Williams, Tom Waits, Billie Holliday, Nina Simone and Led Zeppelin, she writes songs using a rich palette of musical elements that include folk, blues, jazz and country.

Her songs have appeared on compilations, sharing the track list with heavyweights including Adele, Nina Simone and Corinne Bailey Rae.

An Independent artist, she has released and toured 8 albums . This tour is in celebration of her new album “Waiting to Fly “ (WTF) because it’s been a tough couple of years
