And Lisa’s putting together a brand new band to explore some uncharted territory. Lisa, Darlene, Merry, and Judith sang the National Anthem at the 2014 Rose Bowl. Lisa’s been recruited for new studio projects including Billy Childs’ long-awaited Laura Nyro tribute. In the wake of the movie’s critical and popular success, opportunities abound. Along with many other top session and backup singers like Darlene Love, Merry Clayton, Patti Austin, and Judith Hill, “the greatest artists you’ve never heard of” (but whose voices are instantly recognizable), she’s featured in Morgan Neville’s Oscar-winning 2013 documentary Twenty Feet from Stardom. The rest of her résumé is pretty impressive too: touring, recording, and music making with Tina Turner, Chaka Khan, Beyoncé, Dionne Warwick, Dolly Parton, Bobby McFerrin, Alicia Keys, Lou Reed, Louie Vega, Aretha Franklin, John Scofield, George Benson, Laurie Anderson, Lee Ritenour, Jackie Evancho (and many others). But it’s the sweetness of her smile, her visible pleasure in watching her bandmates do their stuff, her glamorous-girl-next-door quality that make fans all over the world think she’s their own secret discovery (despite the fact that the YouTube version of her duet with Mick Jagger on “GimmeShelter” has millions of hits). It’s easy to see why she works all the time: her astonishing range, her spot-on intonation, her mastery of the stage, the way her tone wraps itself around your heart and won’t let go, the infectious quality of her time feel: these things keep her on top of the list. On tour with the Rolling Stones for every tour since 1989 as well as stints with Sting, Chris Botti and Nine Inch Nails, her name may not be on the marquee, but she doesn’t care.

Her life is an endless round of planes, trains, and automobiles, rehearsals and fittings. Featured in the celebrated documentary, 20 Feet from Stardom, Lisa Fischer is a singer who really gets around.
