Happy May everyone!
Always love this time of year and been keeping very busy and creative here in Manhattan. Been to some some really cool and inspiring music and film events including the launch of the Tribeca Film Festival which debuted the new Cameron Crowe documentary film ‘The Union’ (this was then followed by a live solo appearance by Sir Elton John himself who started the set with two perennial favourites and classics ‘Tiny Dancer’ and a song I’ve been to known to perform ‘Rocket Man’). Also saw The Swell Season Movie and was moved all over again by the heartfelt and passionate music of Glen Hansard and Markéta Irglov.
Last night was at a taping of VH1’s ‘Storytellers’ with Ray LaMontagne. Amazing sound, great band and highlights included a really cool version of one of my favourite Neil Young’s classics ‘Out on the weekend’. There’s just so much to inspire you here!
More news and videos to come, in the meantime check out a cool interview and feature in the May edition of ‘VoluME’ magazine all about live album ‘Lisa Redford Live’. Direct link is here

From Brooklands Radio:
‘There’s another chance to hear last Monday’s show with David Durant and his studio guest Lisa Redford, an English singer song-writer currently living in New York. During her visit to her motherland she took some time out to visit the Brooklands Radio studios for a one hour session which we bring you tonight. Here is what others have to say about this talented chanteuse: “one of our finest singer/songwriters” Bob Harris, BBC Radio 2, “brilliant! Lisa has a great voice” Glenn Tilbrook, Squeeze, “In a sea of smart female singer-songwriters, Lisa Redford is an admiral.? Maverick Magazine, “There is a warmth and welcoming vibe to Redford?s music that really is difficult to resist.” Americana UK 8 out of 10.
Hey everyone! hope 2011 is treating you well so far and welcome to my first WordPress blog!
Lisa Redford Live ~ Last Chance for Limited Edition Signed CD Copies!
Thanks so much for downloading my live album ‘Lisa Redford Live‘, this means such a lot. It contains 14 songs from my sold out homecoming show during my UK headline ‘Clouds with Silver’. I’ve often been asked in the past when I was going to release a live recording as I mostly perform solo and for me there is something really special and intimate about one person on stage and most of my favourite artists are solo performers too. The album also contains 2 brand new songs ‘Music and the Mountains’ and ‘Love Won’t Let Me Go’ which I plan to record for a future release.
Thanks also for the orders across Europe of the limited edition signed CD copies. If you would like to order one there is still a little time. They are £5 each (+£2 p&p) = £7 via Paypal. You can also obviously order from other countries but there will just be a very small currency conversion. If you would like one please e-mail and get in touch.
The album is also on Amazon, Emusic, Rhapsody Music, Spotify, Napster and iTunes:
