Lisa Richards: Lisa has had an unbelievable life. Battling through drug and alcohol abuse at an early age, she claims that it was music that picked her up from the gutter and saved her life. After moving from her home town of Townsville in her mid 20’s, she spent 22 years living in the States, where she released five albums and toured relentlessly. After a recent tragic break up which left her husband in US prison and Lisa heart broken, she moved back to Australia and has recorded a breathtaking album with legendary producer/multi-instrumentalist Greg J Walker.
