Biography/History

Lisa Redfern is an award winning singer-songwriter based in Maine. Though she’s lived in nine states over the years, she was raised in Maine and returned here six years ago. She first performed with her father, Bob, who taught her to play guitar at age 14. Bob was a folksinger who had his musical beginnings at the legendary Seeger family hootenannies in Washington, DC in the late 1950’s and early 1960’s. Throughout her high school and college years she honed her talents in a variety of settings such as musical theatre, forming her own folk trio, as well as an Andrews Sisters tribute group.

With 11 solo recordings to her credit so far (9 CDs and 2 early cassettes), she is a singer-songwriter who blends her roots in folk, bluegrass, country, gospel, blues, and swing to create something unmistakably her own. Lisa’s ten recordings have garnered positive critical review, extensive radio play and she has also made several TV appearances. She has added her clear, beautiful voice to dozens of other artists’ projects and song compilations. Her song "My Eileen" has been licensed by a band in CA for inclusion in a compilation CD called "Sonoma Covers." Lisa has opened for many notables, including The Roches, Livingston Taylor, Cindy Kallet, Dave Mallett, and she shared the stage (and several duets) with Pete Seeger. All of her CDs are available on her website except “Hushabye, Lullaby” "No Small Thing" and "Soundtracks" which are currently out of print. Many of her CDs are available at CDBABY and on ETSY.
