Lisa Morales @ The Redbird - 4 pm

Lisa Morales has been pursuing creative fulfillment and emotional illumination for most of her life. Like her cousin Linda Ronstadt, Lisa and her sister Roberta grew up in a musical family in Tucson, Arizona, learning to perform traditional Mexican music while developing broad-ranging musical tastes. After moving to Texas, they attracted interest from the country music establishment in Nashville, but instead chose to pursue an independent musical path, developing a distinctive sound and attitude over the course of six albums between 1997 and 2012. The pair’s indelible vocal harmonies and emotion-charged live performances won Sisters Morales a loyal fan base.

Driven to pursue a more individualistic, iconoclastic path, Lisa went solo in 2011, releasing Beautiful Mistake, a revelatory song cycle on which she spun life’s tragedies and disappointments into bracing songwriting. Morales’ 2018 release Luna Negra and the Daughter of the Sun reached even more deeply into her soul. Her solo albums won universally ecstatic reviews. For example, Rolling Stone called her, “one of the most multifaceted artists to watch in 2018.” Lone Star Music called Beautiful Mistake “one of the most beautiful records that will be released all year” and “an absolutely flat-out devastating and stunning work of art.”  https://www.lisamoralesmusic.com/
