The Odeon is excited to welcome acclaimed singer-songwriter Lisa Morales to the stage on May 4. With her recently released third solo album, She Ought to Be King, Lisa once again affirms her world-class stature with a distinctive perspective and emotional forthrightness that she established on her earlier solo efforts, Beautiful Mistake and Luna Negra and the Daughter of the Sun. Her solo albums have won universally ecstatic reviews. Lone Star Music called Beautiful Mistake “one of the most beautiful records that will be released all year…an absolutely flat-out devastating and stunning work of art.” Rolling Stone called her,”… one of the most multifaceted artists to watch.” The latter album revealed her Mexican heritage, both in poetic and lyrical rhythm.
Like her cousin Linda Ronstadt, Lisa and her sister Roberta grew up in a musical family in Tucson, Arizona, learning to perform traditional Mexican music while developing broad-ranging musical taste prior to moving to Texas. She recorded six albums with Sisters Morales, the beloved sibling duo in which she partnered with Roberta. The pair developed a distinctive sound with their indelible vocal harmonies over the course of six albums and many live performances. Driven to pursue a more individualistic path, Lisa went solo in 2011,
When not writing and recording her own songs, Lisa has found time for various outside projects, such as producing and contributing vocals and guitar to Hayes Carll’s debut album Flowers & Liquor, and co-writing “Waiting For the Stars to Fall’ for Carll’s 2008 album Trouble in Mind.
