Hawaiʻi Public Radio | By Dave Lawrence

Lisa Fischer and Grand Baton are back in the islands. The gifted musician took time for a conversation with HPR All Things Considered Host Dave Lawrence ahead of shows at the Blue Note tonight and the Kahilu Theatre tomorrow. Her resume is impressive: Luther Vandross, The Rolling Stones, Tina Turner, Roberta Flack, Bon Jovi, Sting, Journey's Neal Schon and The Crystals all factor into this conversation alone.
