Hitting the London stage for the first time in her own right, the star of the Oscar-winning Twenty Feet From Stardom, Lisa Fischer is best-known as the woman who sings her heart out with the Rolling Stones — her Gimme Shelter duets with Mick Jagger have had millions of hits — an extraordinary vocal talent, renowned for her astonishing range and the way that her voice wraps around the hearty and soul of the audience and won’t let go.
 
Lisa Fischer has toured the world with Sting, Nine Inch Nails, Tina Turner and the Stones – to name but a very few. In her own right, she conspires with a terrific band, Grand Baton, to create a fusion of African, Middle Eastern, and Caribbean rhythms, psychedelic soul, and progressive rock that ignites her flexibility and freedom of expression alongside a lifelong desire to make music that heals but still rocks the house.
 
In performance, she draws from an eclectic palette of influences, whether putting her stamp on Led Zeppelin and Little Willie John or recasting rock anthems from her tours with the Stones and Tina Turner.
