The Life And Music Of Nina Simone
In a past life, Lisa Schouw was a pop idol: the imposing face and voice of Melbourne band Girl Overboard. Now she recounts the life and sings the songs of the legendary Nina Simone, leader of a generation of musicians. With musical director Peter Bailey, Lisa weaves together Simone's best-loved songs and shines a new light on her finest and darkest hours: My Baby Just Cares for Me, House of the Rising Sun, Four Women and I Love You Porgy. You go, girl.

'... a voice like dark chocolate, she wrapped vulnerability around a core of steel. ' Sydney Morning Herald


If you like the sound of The Other Woman, you might also enjoy Billy Washington's Drifters or Marcia Hines And Band.
