SUMMARY:Lisa Bello MUSICA R&B/Soul/Hip Hop 10pm
DESCRIPTION:ALCHEMIST\n\n12/18/2009 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\nNine out of ten bla
 ck people agree that this white chick can sing. The tenth one is tone 
 deaf. That’s how it’s always been for Boston soul chick Lisa Bello
 , who rocked the Apollo cold at thirteen years old and smashed through
  the public school talent show circuit before her sweet sixteenth. Eve
 ry artist gets labeled, and Lisa’s never minded being the tattooed I
 talian broad with Mary’s pipes and Whitney’s gusto. Lisa had to sh
 ine. Her brother Louie Bello casts a thick shadow as Boston’s premie
 r r&b star and songwriter. In order for Lisa to get recognized, she’
 s had to deliver live sets that rewired the way people think about Cau
 casian pop singers. Her formula: freak a couple covers and flash some 
 skills, and then move in with original material. Though she’s been p
 erforming live since middle school and been selected twice to perform 
 on JAM’N 94.5’s annual Summer Stage, Lisa only recently hit the la
 b hard. In the past six months she’s written her yet-to-be titled de
 but album and recorded with established Boston beat teams including Ma
 ss Appeal, Surefire and John Johnson productions. The resulting sound 
 is big enough to move dance floors but minimal enough to let Lisa bust
  loose. On the lyric front, let’s just say that homegirl has equal p
 arts intellect and attitude. Since she started dropping singles on lin
 e in late 2007, Lisa’s been one of Beantown’s most requested colla
 borators. Working with artists including Jake the Snake, Omega Red, Dr
 e Robinson, D-Quest, DJ On&On, JayCeeOh, and Makio from MTV’s Making
  the Band, she’s quickly established herself as the r&b voice to be 
 reckoned with around New England. But Boston is already getting small.
  Clubs like Felt, Mantra, Revolution Rock Bar and The Middle East have
  taught her well, but Lisa’s game is too unique and marketable for h
 er to stay trapped beneath glass ceilings. Hipsters dig her dance floo
 r-friendly backdrops, soul cats flock to see her front an eight-piece 
 band, and hip-hop crowds haven’t heard rhythm packaged this tightly 
 since Jodeci dominated airwaves. Don’t front – you know she’s go
 t you open too.\n\nFor more information visit http://neighborsforneigh
