With her impeccable and interpretive vocals, masterful storytelling, and engaging charismatic style, Lisa is a multi-faceted talent adding her own narrative flair to music from the worlds of jazz standards and cabaret. From vocalist with a 15-piece big band at major performing arts centers, to headlining LA venue's like Feinstein's at Vitello's, and Catalina Jazz Club, or opening for Broadway stars like Adam Pascal, and Anthony Rapp. Lisa's acting credits are extensive, from TV, film, commercials, and character voices for animated films and TV. Accompanying Lisa will be David Arana on piano.

Actress/singer par excellence Lisa Donahey presented her Big 50th Birthday Bash at Feinstein's Upstairs at Vitello's Friday July 19 and did an encore performance Sunday July 21. I attended Friday and had a great time. Donahey has an infectious personality. Her charisma is enormous, as she talks directly to her audience, including them in the repartee - with a bevy of surprises - and has a joyous time doing it. Backed by six extraordinary musicians* with virtuoso musical director David Arana at the keyboard, the show came in at almost two hours, but was so enjoyable, the time flew by, literally. Donahey had two glorious backup singers Lyndsay Dodoras and Billye Johnstone
