Powerhouse bassist and front woman Lisa Mann hails from the
blues-steeped city of Portland, OR. She is currently the Cascade Blues
Association's Female Vocalist of the Year and Bass Player of the Year,
and her band is the Contemporary Blues Act of the Year. She and her
aptly named “Really Good Band” have been mainstays of the Northwest
music scene for several years, and have graced the stage at some of the
finest blues events, such as the Waterfront Blues Festival, Bronze Blues
& Brews, Untapped Blues Festival, Sunbanks and others. She was
inducted into the Cascade Blues Association’s Hall of Fame in 2011 after
winning the Muddy Waters Award for Bass Player of the Year for the
third time in a row. She has received numerous nominations for Vocalist
of the Year, winning in 2009 and 2012. In 2011, she and her Really Good
Band represented the CBA at the International Blues Challenge, where
they made it to the semi-finals. Lisa also won the Portland Music Award
for Outstanding Achievement in Blues in 2012.Her influences run the gamut, from low down blues sisters Etta James and
Koko Taylor, to singer-songwriters like Bonnie Raitt and Sheryl Crow,
to R&B belters like Little Milton. She writes the majority of her
recorded material, and her songs paint pictures of a gritty (and
sometimes humorous) personal experience in life, love and the
not-always-pretty music business. LISA MANN
