Lisa Donahey

In an industry that too often rewards artists and performers for limiting their vast musical potential and allowing themselves to be pigeonholed, Lisa Donahey stands out as a singular multi-faceted talent who embraces and does it all – with an engaging, charismatic style and panache all her own. Combining her masterful storytelling abilities with her innate skills as a people person, she’s captivated audiences throughout her native Southern California and beyond with critically acclaimed performances that tap into her passions for everything from classic Top 40 pop, R&B, rock, Great American Songbook and big band standards to musical theatre, country, novelty tunes, classical and even her own colorful mashup style, “jazzbaret.” A consummate entertainer, Lisa does more than simply interpret the genius of others. She adds her own narrative flair to the flow of the music, turning set lists full of songs we know and love into fresh, poetic looks at life and love while making the crowd an integral part of the experience. Over the past few years, Lisa has created, produced and starred in a multitude of diverse large ensemble showcases at such L.A. hotspots as Upstairs at Vitello’s Supper Club and Catalina Jazz Club, as well as large performance centers in Orange County. Check out Lisa's album "She's Got It Covered", "Takes on Broadway" and her latest release "Christmas in Our Soul."
