Indie Music Women’s Featured Artist of the Day is…
Lisa Redford (@lisaredfordmusic)
Lisa Redford has been heralded by legendary BBC Radio 2 broadcaster Bob Harris as “one of our finest singer/songwriters”, and earned worldwide acclaim for her heartfelt acoustic music which blends country, folk, Americana and pop with memorable melodies and stunning vocals.
She has independently released three studio albums Slipstream, Lost Again and Clouds with Silver as well as EP’s Reminders, Another Place and Time and Edge of Love that have received airplay across the world. Her song Dragonfly was featured on a Bob Harris Radio 2 ‘Best of British’ special’ which showcased the finest songwriters in the UK. In summer 2019 she released her latest EP Edge of Love which has been receiving glowing press reviews and worldwide airplay.
Lisa has played with and opened for many respected international artists within the worlds of country, folk, and Americana. She has also performed at many prestigious festivals such as C2C Country to Country – Europe’s biggest country music festival – at London’s O2. Having been based in the US as well as the UK, Lisa has contributed music articles for various online music publications including Songwriting Magazine. She has interviewed songwriters, previewed and reviewed major music events and festivals, as well as provided music and songwriting advice to other artists. She also hosts a music show on Future Radio in Norwich, Norfolk.
Lisa shared with me what it means to her to be an indie music woman artist:
“I have been an independent artist doing it all myself and paving my own path for a while and for me it means having the freedom to express myself, set my own deadlines and schedule, create my own opportunities and have complete creative control over all aspects of my work.” It’s not been an easy road but it’s so rewarding when something exciting happens with my music that my passion, motivation and hard work alone has generated.”
You can hear Lisa’s single, “I Just Can’t Forget” on the Indie Music Women’s Spotify playlist.
