Lisa Bouchelle is an artist highly respected by her peers, lauded by the press, and who has been building a loyal fan base with constant touring, often driving herself across the country with just the guitar on her back. Her new album, Vandals, Thieves & Lovers, is a tour-de-force of Americana that features not only Lisa’s stellar songwriting, vocals, and guitar playing, but contributions from a number of well-known names in the Americana world, including three Grammy winners.

     Musicians guesting on the album include Amanda Shires on violin, Larry Campbell on banjo and mandolin, Clay Cook from the Zac Brown Band on guitar and Hammond organ, Waddy Wachtel on guitar, Doyle Grisham from Jimmy Buffet’s Coral Reefer Band on pedal steel, Jake Clemons from Bruce Springsteen’s E Street Band on sax, Tim Carbone from Railroad Earth on fiddle, Rich Scannella from Tonic on drums, and Hal B. Selzer from Joan Jett & The Blackhearts on bass, among others.

     Lisa is no stranger to working with some of the biggest names in music. She has sung backup for Bruce Springsteen, dueted in concert with Jon Bon Jovi on his country-tinged hit “Who Says You Can’t Go Home,” and has toured with and/or opened for The Wallflowers, Train, Blues Traveler, Shooter Jennings, Bryan Adams, Donavon Frankenreiter, Don Felder of The Eagles, Glenn Tilbrook of Squeeze, the Nitty Gritty Dirt Band, Steve Miller, and The Wailers, among others.

     Lisa’s personal connection to her fans is something she takes pride in. “Larger than life with a voice that could fill an amphitheater, and still make you feel like you’re the only one she’s singing to…” is how Philadelphia’s Out On The Town describes her, and the effect she has on audiences.
