Win tickets to see Lisa Fischer & Grand Baton at the Rio Theatre on SantaCruz.com
There’s a video of the mid-’90s-era Rolling Stones performing “Gimme Shelter” in Amsterdam. Jagger and company are doing their thing, but toward the middle of the song, vocalist Lisa Fischer takes center stage and proceeds to kill it with her incredible voice, commanding stage presence, and out-of-this-world range. The video, now with over one million views, is just a peek at Fischer’s talent—and the Stones, just a few of her admirers. Fischer has also worked with Tina Turner, Aretha Franklin, Lou Reed and many more, and was featured in the 2013 documentary Twenty Feet from Stardom.
INFO: 7:30 p.m. Wednesday, April 8. Rio Theatre, 1205 Soquel Ave., Santa Cruz. $30/gen, $45/gold. 423-8209.
