Overview
Who knows how many brilliant backup singers have never become household names. But Lisa Fischer is an exception to the rule. She's powered through duets with Mick Jagger, held her own alongside Tina Turner, added a whole new dimension to Nine Inch Nails, starred in Oscar-winning doco Twenty Feet From Stardom and measured up to the one-and-only Queen of Funk, Chaka Khan. And they're just a few of the big names to have enlisted her talent.
Now, the mighty Ms Fischer is seizing her rightful place on centre stage. And you can get in on the soulful, soulful action when she hits the City Recital Hall on Wednesday, June 15. She'll be smashing out all the classics, from The Stones' 'Gimme Shelter' and 'It's Only Rock 'n' Roll (But I Like It)', to legendary tunes by Led Zeppelin and Little Willie John. She'll also perform her very own, Grammy-winning original, 'How Can I Ease The Pain'.
Taking care of the backing will be Grand Baton. The powerhouse trio consists of drummer Thierry Arpino, bassist Aidan Carroll and director by Jean-Christophe Maillard, who also plays guitar and SazBass, all while singing backing vocals.
