CLASSIC JAZZ, CONTEMPORARY EDGE!
Winner of 2009, 2010, 2011, 2013 & 2014 Rising Star Award, "Best of 2012" Award and rated #1 Jazz Singer in the U.S. on GigMasters.com for 6 years in a row, Lisa Smith moved to Las Vegas in 2002 with her husband, actor & singer Ron Smith (EmceeLasVegas.com). The couple met in California while starring in and co-hosting the popular Wild Bill's Wild West Extravaganza Show in Buena Park. Prior to that, Lisa spent several years singing in clubs and performing in theatres throughout the Los Angeles/Hollywood area, worked as a Lead Singer aboard Royal Caribbean's "Song of America" ship, and appeared as a featured soloist in two separate production shows in Tokyo, Japan.
Since relocating to Las Vegas, Lisa has enjoyed jazz appearances at several well-known venues such as the Suncoast Hotel & Casino, South Point Event Center, Rampart Casino, Ritz Carlton Hotel at Lake Las Vegas, Bootlegger Bistro, The Stirling Club, The Tropicana Lounge, Montelago Resort at Lake Las Vegas, LABEL Lounge at Palazzo/Venetian, Cosmopolitan Hotel, Mandarin Hotel, Becker's Steakhouse, Four Season's Hotel, ELARA Hilton Grand Vacations Resort, Starbright Theatre, Gold Coast Showroom, and local jazz hot-spot The Dispensary Lounge. In addition to freelancing as a jazz & big band singer for various corporate events as well, Lisa Smith also performs with the award-winning tribute group "Shades of Sinatra" (ShadesLasVegas.com), sings with Las Vegas' most versatile female trio "Dangerous Curves" (DangerousCurvesLasVegas.com), and is the co-writer/co-star of several original musical revue shows with her talented husband Ron Smith (BeyondTalentProductions.com).
"From the beginning, Lisa was a pleasure to work with. Her energy, professionalism, and sweet nature made planning for my reception music an absolute breeze. She was accommodating to all of my requests, particularly with learning a special song for my first dance with my husband. And most importantly, she was even better in person than in the online videos! They only offer a glimpse of how wonderful a performer she is, and they definitely do not do her justice. Lisa, her husband Ron, and the other band members set the perfect mood for a great evening, and I could not have been happier."
Angela Hunt, Wedding - Ebell of Los Angeles, CA
