BIO:
LISA COPPOLA is a dedicated, ambitious and gifted singer/songwriter. A life-long Jersey Girl with a four and a half octave vocal range, Lisa has a passion for music and has developed a style that blurs the lines between love-gone-bad country, heartfelt, confrontational rock and the Blues. LISA COPPOLA is the Josie Awards 2017 winner in the category of Modern Country Song of the Year by a Female Artist for “Just a Little Time (Coppola/Taglieri).

Performing since she was 16, Lisa began her professional career immediately after high school with The Party Dolls, a very popular, long running New Jersey party band fronted by three women featuring choreography, wigs and fabulous costumes.

At the same time, she set out to be a solo artist but soon formed the band Broad with John Zonars, musical coordinator for Saturday Night Live. Their album BROAD: HUMAN CONFLICT (ArtBeat Records distributed by BMG/Aris) enjoyed a string of successes in Europe. Broad did a media/concert tour in Germany in support the record and were received with open arms by extremely enthusiastic German audiences. Back home, BROAD became a hot New York live act, playing regularly at Manhattan’s Brownies, A/k/a, Spiral, The Bitter End as well as appearing at the World Cup Tournament at Giants Stadium.

A Rose By Any Other Name, Lisa’s debut solo album came next. Released on indie label Any Other Name Records, Lisa co-wrote six of the tracks featured on the album.

For the release of Contemporary Country Rock EP, Wisdom from the Pain, Lisa co-wrote the title track with Mark Conklin and former Spin Doctor Anthony Krizan.

At 12/3/17 “When You Were Mine” is #1 on New Visions Radio’s Top 10, which is featured in The Radio Indie Alliance worldwide chart!
