SUMMARY:Lisa Bello MUSICA R&B/Soul/Hip Hop 10:30pm
DESCRIPTION:ALCHEMIST\n\n11/20/2009 10:30 PM at Lisa Bello MUSICA R&B/
 Soul/Hip Hop 10pm\nThe Alchemist Lounge 435 South Huntington Ave, Jama
 ica Plain, Massachusetts 02130\nCost: Always Free\n\nNine out of ten b
 lack people agree that this white chick can sing. The tenth one is ton
 e deaf. That’s how it’s always been for Boston soul chick Lisa Bel
 lo, who rocked the Apollo cold at thirteen years old and smashed throu
 gh the public school talent show circuit before her sweet sixteenth. E
 very artist gets labeled, and Lisa’s never minded being the tattooed
  Italian broad with Mary’s pipes and Whitney’s gusto. Lisa had to 
 shine. Her brother Louie Bello casts a thick shadow as Boston’s prem
 ier r&b star and songwriter. In order for Lisa to get recognized, sheâ
 €™s had to deliver live sets that rewired the way people think about C
 aucasian pop singers. Her formula: freak a couple covers and flash som
 e skills, and then move in with original material. Though she’s been
  performing live since middle school and been selected twice to perfor
 m on JAM’N 94.5’s annual Summer Stage, Lisa only recently hit the 
 lab hard. In the past six months she’s written her yet-to-be titled 
 debut album and recorded with established Boston beat teams including 
 Mass Appeal, Surefire and John Johnson productions. The resulting soun
 d is big enough to move dance floors but minimal enough to let Lisa bu
 st loose. On the lyric front, let’s just say that homegirl has equal
  parts intellect and attitude. Since she started dropping singles on l
 ine in late 2007, Lisa’s been one of Beantown’s most requested col
 laborators. Working with artists including Jake the Snake, Omega Red, 
 Dre Robinson, D-Quest, DJ On&On, JayCeeOh, and Makio from MTV’s Maki
 ng the Band, she’s quickly established herself as the r&b voice to b
 e reckoned with around New England. But Boston is already getting smal
 l. Clubs like Felt, Mantra, Revolution Rock Bar and The Middle East ha
 ve taught her well, but Lisa’s game is too unique and marketable for
  her to stay trapped beneath glass ceilings. Hipsters dig her dance fl
 oor-friendly backdrops, soul cats flock to see her front an eight-piec
 e band, and hip-hop crowds haven’t heard rhythm packaged this tightl
 y since Jodeci dominated airwaves. Don’t front – you know she’s 
 got you open too.\n\nFor more information visit http://neighborsfornei
