Lisa Hunt

Byron Bay’s adopted soul songstress, Lisa Hunt, will be the second artist to play The Green Room, Byron Bay’s new live music venue, at the Byron Events Farm, the home of Bluesfest.

Hunt began singing in that great African American tradition, the gospel church, and there was laid the foundation of her soulful singing style. She went on to study voice at The City College of New York where she received a BFA in music.

Hunt has been a ‘local’ for almost two decades, she also has had songs on numerous compilations around the globe, both as singer and songwriter, and has sold more than a million records. She closed the 2008 Bluesfest with thousands of fans screaming for more! 

Watching Lisa’s Forever Soul show, people can expect high energy and even higher notes! She is a master soul singer who always leaves crowds cheering for more. 

On Saturday 12 March Lisa Hunt will perform at The Green Room, a 1,500+ capacity venue on the Bluesfest site that was constructed and completed last year on the very ground where all Bluesfest artists prepare themselves before hitting the Bluesfest stages.

Lisa Hunt’s show will be an all-ages event (tix for kids under 12 are free). Venue opens at 2pm.
