Bouchelle makes her Tampa debut on Thursday, October 31st, with an appearance at The Attic, as a special guest of the highly acclaimed Adam Ezra Group.
Lipstick Tomboy, Bouchelle’s latest release, has received airplay on many major stations, was awarded the Disc Of The Day by Nashville’s legendary MusicRow columnist and tastemaker Robert Oermann, and given the highly coveted “Highly Recommended” rating by Goldmine Magazine.
Bouchelle started singing at the age of 4, when she stood on a picnic table and sang “America The Beautiful” at a local talent show. That’s when she first realized she could make a difference with her voice. Although both her parents loved her dearly, they fought constantly with each other. Her mother was an alcoholic, and her father, who had to leave school in the 8th grade, worked three jobs just so the family could get by. It almost seemed like the only time the arguing would stop was when little Lisa would sing. “It seemed like they would smile and be happy when I sang,” recalls Lisa. “That’s the only time everything seemed OK.” So Lisa would sing as much as she could, and whenever she could.
Alcoholism took her mother from her, and her father died soon after from complications during a heart operation. Now alone in the world, Lisa set her sights on fulfilling her dream, and making her father proud. She started playing in every local coffeehouse and bar, sometimes seven nights a week. Now, she still sings every chance she gets, whether it be driving thousands of miles across the US on her own, which she’s done several times while doing solo tours, or playing in the train station for tips. In fact, she was interviewed on NPR Radio several years ago about her experiences “busking” in the Philadelphia train station.
