Shows that soothe and sting, that delight audiences with power, hum, and croon are Lisa Fraser’s forte. The stage becomes a platform for launching guitar and piano-based songs that braid together hearty portions each of folk, pop, Americana and blues. Lisa’s voice is the show stealer though, and parades above her strong songwriting in confident tones that remind listeners of Eva Cassidy, Norah Jones, Natalie Merchant and at times even Helen Reddy. And though traditional influences run deep, Lisa’s music draws from both the familiar and the peculiar: her lyrics, melodies, and performance style run together to make a strikingly unique species of sound.
