Transmission Short Documentary on Lisa

As a child of the 80’s, Lisa’s artistic aesthetic is highly influenced by the early days of MTV and the post punk era of pop music. Lisa’s songwriting career is now in its third decade, with her most notable work coming in the early 2000’s as the front woman and songwriter for the NYC based rock-n-roll band Lisa Jackson and Girl Friday. After a 10 year hiatus from writing and performing, Lisa returned to NYC and the Joe’s Pub Stage to showcase her one woman musical TRANS AM and the concert version of the new musical Doll/Girl , which she has co-created with Joseph Ritsch. Lisa is also a 2025 recipient of an artist grant through the New York State Council on the Arts, in support of TRANS AM.

“The lady has not cheated herself in her intake of musical styles and genres, and she has allowed herself the luxury of weaving a ribbon of those influences into an artistic voice that lives somewhere between her head and her heart, thus creating an aesthetic that is all her own, an aesthetic that she shares with her audience through her stories… and what stories they are” (Stephen Mosher, Broadway world)
