Lisa Dotolo was born and raised in Westerly, Rhode Island and is a graduate of Providence College. She has since moved to Nashville, TN from Rochester, N.Y. to pursue her singing career and gift of music. Lisa is working to have an international music career and to share her talent and musical gifts with the world.
She started her singing career at the age of 3 in the church with her mother Sandra, cantoring the Catholic mass as well as singing in the local church folk group. Lisa also started to write songs as a young girl and continues to write many different styles of music.
As a young girl, she acted in several community theatre productions in upstate New York as well as school musicals and dramas both in high school and college. Her love for the stage and acting is as passionate as her love for live musical performance. She hopes to one day pursue her love for the theater, on Broadway and produce as well as act in a musical she has already begun to write and record.
Lisa would like to thank the Nashville Community and her friends and family for their continued support of her music career and her dreams. She is grateful to be surrounded by such a wonderful group of talented artists and writers and wishes continued success and happiness to all of them. She would also like to thank Caffeine Nashville & Cafe Cocos for giving her the opportunity to perform in her monthly musical showcase. Avenues Musical Showcase is now held every last Thursday of the month from 7- 10 pm at Cafe Cocos, Nashville. This features local talent as well as Hit Songwriters; 210 Louise Ave, near the Exit In.
Be sure to come out to her next gig and have a listen to her sweet voice and memorable tunes or check out her next show. Gig dates listed above.
