Lisa Mills & Ian Jennings[Blues/Folk Rock, 2 piece]
Get the Flash Player to see these images.
Lisa Mills from Mobile Alabama is an exceptional singer and songwriter singing in Janis Joplins first band 'Big Brother and the Holding Company' after Janis' demise performing all of the Janis Joplin parts, while given the freedom to give her own interpretation of the music. She toured with BBHC for three years throughout the United States, Canada, and Europe. She has been compared to Etta James, Billie Holiday and Brenda Lee but her main comparison is an extraordinary vocal similarity to Bonnie Raitt. Led Zeppelins Robert Plant found her and had no hesitation in asking her to open his American stadium shows - they have performed on the same bills across the US and Europe. Lisa also appeared with Dr John on his UK tour last October and, although she has played in front of more than 40,000 people Lisa admits to liking it best when she can connect with her audience . Accompanied by Ian Jennings of Big Town Playboys/Jeff Beck/Van Morrison/Eric Clapton fame on upright Bass we are all in for a treat! Take Robert Plants advice 'You should all check her out - she has a wonderful voice'.
