Lisa Cote
Rapturous vocals are singer/songwriter Lisa Cote’s unmistakable trademark. Whether performing her own original songs or deftly interpreting works from influences including Melissa Etheridge, Joni Mitchell, Dar Williams and the Indigo Girls, Lisa’s rich, enchanting voice reaches audiences where these songs dwell, soulfully mapped within the heart.
With over a decade’s worth of live performances to her credit, Lisa has emerged from a series of acoustic duo and trio ensembles into a promising solo career. Taking her warm, inviting songs to intimate cafe's, open stages like Northampton’s legendary Iron Horse Music Hall and venues including Borders Books and Music, fans of all ages are drawn to her deeply affecting storytelling. Be it her hushed lullabies or dazzlingly charged rockers, Lisa is genuinely at home before the microphone, guitar in hand.
Having just completed her debut "Preview CD" and pursuing various studio projects with a range of fellow artists, Lisa’s live itinerary continues to carry her music to venues in New York, Connecticut, Massachusetts and beyond. She's opened for Margo Hennebach’s series of house concerts, and spends her summers performing in the famed Falcon Ridge Folk Festival’s campsites, sharing song circles with her musical friends and peers set against the backdrop of folk’s finest.
Like the best folk artists before her, Lisa captivates listeners with feelings laid bare, displaying an honest vulnerability so identifiable within each of us. To hear her sing is to share her passion for life’s joys, sorrows and subtle shades in between. A gentle caress, a call to action and a zest for love & living: this is the music of Lisa Cote.
