Prior to this in 2017, the gig-theatre production âElizabethâ was co-created with Bullet Heart Club (Daffodils) featuring Lisaâs original songs and stories.
Her music can also be heard recently gracing the airwaves of TV shows âNancy Drewâ, âGood Troubleâ, âStumptownâ, âProven Innocentâ , âThe Secret That She Keepsâ as well as feature films âThe Last Days of Capitalismâ, âRevolt She Saidâ and âWARUâ and you can see Lisa perform an on-screen musician on NBCâs âThis is Usâ.
