Overview
Lisa Richards is an Australian artist whose musical journey began with singing a cappella on the streets of Kings Cross, Sydney. Over the years, she's lived and created music in New York City, Austin, Texas, and Australia , absorbing a rich tapestry of influences along the way. Lisa has performed at iconic venues like CBGB’s and shared stages with artists such as Toni Childs, Emily Barker, Paul Kelly, and Michelle Shocked.
