In the short sixteen months since Lisa hit the musical highway with her new band she can vouch that certainly 'Dreams Come to Life' having made it to the Grand Ole Opry stage as guest of her good friend Gene Watson and also having signed a four year deal with world famous Rosette Records. In reality these are all things that Lisa has dreamed about since a very early age.
Last week Lisa added two awards to her credits having received “Female Vocalist of the Year” at SKY TV’s Showcase Hot Country Awards 2012 and also “Outstanding Achievement of the Year” at Kfm Radio Awards 2012.
On Monday 23rd April Lisa received an award as “New Female Vocalist of the Year” at the Irish Country Sounds Awards 2012 presented by the Irish Farmers Journal.
More good news for Lisa is that she will receive the Artist of the Year 2011 award from the prestigious Northern Nashville Country Music Club, based in Thurso, Northern Scotland. This award is voted by the NNCMC members and will be presented by them to Lisa during her next appearance on Friday 28th September. She recently performed with her band at their annual Northern Nashville Caithness Country Music Festival to an audience of 3000 people.
To date Lisa has received eleven awards, released two albums and is getting fantastic reaction both at her live shows and from radio listeners nationwide.
