Lisa Fitzgibbon

'If you took the sexiness of Charlene Spiteri, the angst of Natalie Merchant and the vocal range of Eddie Reader, you’d have a pretty good idea of what to expect from Lisa Fitzgibbon. '

From the Acoustic Stage at Glastonbury Festival to the small folk clubs in the Midlands, from the front bar of Melbourne's famous Espy Hotel to London's Shepherds Bush Empire... Lisa is totally at home in every live situation.

"The magic that Lisa Fitzgibbon conjures up when she sing is indefinable and incomparable.  You really have to see and hear her to believe it.  Highly recommended."

"Lisa Fitzgibbon – unstoppable Aussie “Power-Folk”. We’re going to tickle her until she reveals where she gets all that energy!"
-James Hibbins, Acousticity: UK

“Lisa’s song-writing ability screams at you as tune after tune you find yourself agreeing with her, sympathising and hurting with her, and in the end wanting to confide in her. She tears herself open with each song, vulnerable but powerfully gutsy – and I fall for her and her plight, along with the rest of the crowd.” – Wight Vibe: IOW


“Lisa Fitzgibbon is one of the great undiscovered talents amongst this country's singer/songwriters. With passionate, challenging songs, a commanding stage presence and a voice that would grace any stage, this is power folk with a tender heart.”
- Bernard Hoskin, Acoustic Routes: UK

“…descriptive and familiar, she’s a kindred spirit to those who hear her, and becomes a friend when the doors open and she lets you in with her big smile and mad laugh.”
- Cora Wade, journalist: IOW

“Better than anything else I've seen or heard in a long, long time.” – John Bonham, USA

Better than Madonna, punchier than Amy Winehouse, sweeter than Lily Allen, bolder than Ani DiFranco, brassier than Shirley Bassey and sexier than Betty Boo, Lisa Fitzgibbon is the real thing. – Jimmy Johns, journalist: IT
