Bio

Lisa Michelle Anderson

What happens when you are raised on the music of Dolly Parton in Southeast Kansas and Minnesota, move to Australia and learn to play the guitar?

You get Lisa Michelle Anderson. 

Lisa's music is fittingly described by Sam Otis Hill as "fresh linen and well-worn denim occasionally splashed with whiskey, beer, and hot sauce."

Lisa has played and recorded with Matt Cameron (Pearl Jam & Sound Garden), Adam Levy (Turn Turn Turn), Johnny Irion (Arlo Guthrie, Robert DeLeo), Cindy Lawson, Paul Hiraga (Down Pilot), Lori Wray, and Sky Smeed.

She was voted best Singer-Songwriter by the Minnesota Music Academy, and has opened for Warren Zevon, The Jayhawks, Marty Willson-Piper, Marianne Faithfull, Peter Case, Jill Sobule and a host of other greats. 

In 2020 and 2022 Lisa released two EP's produced and recorded by Johnny Irion which included her single Key to the Door that was released by Aldora Britain Records (Rothley, UK). She released her critically acclaimed  single Joy Callin' in March of 2023. Lisa is currently back in the studio recording a new full length LP to be released during the second half of 2024.

Lisa performs as a solo artist and with her band that includes producer/guitarist Johnny Irion.
