BIO
Lisa Hearns is an acclaimed jazz vocalist who has performed at legendary venues and festivals in Boston, New York City, and throughout New England. She can be seen in clubs in Greenwich Village, Staten Island, Brooklyn, and the New York tri-state area. Hearns leads several performance groups which include her jazz trio and quartet. These groups feature bassist Kelly Friesen, pianist Steve Einerson, guitarist Ed MacEachen and drummer Taro Okamoto.
The daughter of two music professors, Hearns grew up in Massachusetts and is a graduate of the prestigious Berklee College of Music in Boston. She formed and led her own group, playing in New York City for several years and traveling throughout New England, performing together until 2001. She returned to New York City in September 2001 to continue her singing career, and has since assumed the role of Berklee's New York Alumni Chapter President, and has newly been appointed as Trustee to Berklee’s Board of Trustees. She is a member of Manhattan Association of Cabaret, and has several professional recordings including her NEW jazz album produced by six-time Grammy winning producer Elliot Scheiner.
Bringing a contemporary edge to jazz and blues classics, Hearns is known for her range and versatility. Critics have touted her vocals as “undeniably ghost-like - hers is a voice from the past with a respect for the establishment, yet she still finds a way to make it ballsy, fresh and distinct.”
