Lisa Michelle Anderson

What happens when you are raised on the music of Dolly Parton in Southeast Kansas and Minnesota, move to Australia and learn to play the guitar?

You get Lisa Michelle Anderson.

Lisa’s music has been described as “fresh linen and well-worn denim occasionally splashed with whiskey, beer, and hot sauce.” Sam Otis Hill

Lisa has played and recorded with Matt Cameron (Pearl Jam & Sound Garden), Adam Levy (Turn Turn Turn), Johnny Irion (Arlo Guthrie, Robert DeLeo), Cindy Lawson, Paul Hiraga (Down Pilot), Lori Wray,
