Lisa Bouchelle is an American singer-songwriter/Americana artist. Her music encompasses acoustic rock, pop, country, and rock. She is the host of the syndicated TV show Rock Star Kitchen.

Early Career
Bouchelle began singing in numerous open mic nights around her hometown of Trenton, NJ, and started writing and recording her own songs. She also sang with the progressive rock band Mastermind, which was very successful in Japan and enabled her to be voted one of the top 40 vocalists in the world in a Burrn! Magazine poll.

Lisa also sang the role of Mona Lisa on the album “Leonardo: The Absolute Man,” in a duet with James LaBrie of Dream Theater.

Her performances at the Jersey shore led her to be a part of charity events where she dueted with Jon Bon Jovi and sang backup for Bruce Springsteen.

Recording Career
Lisa recorded three CDs, October Baby, Tricks With Pretty Words, and Passion Makes Perfect, which she pressed herself and sold at her local gigs. Her fourth CD, Paint Your Dreams was picked up by Cement Shoes Records, which was distributed by the Universal Music Group and released in 2007. The CD contained contributions from Southside Johnny, Gary U.S. Bonds, Bobby Bandiera, and Shawn Pelton, and reached #1 on two independent music charts, and #4 on the college charts. It was also selected to be part of the Starbucks Hear Music download kiosk program. Lisa supported the release with a national tour opening for Blues Traveler.

Her next CD, Bleu Room With A Red Vase, was released in 2010 on Varese Sarabande Records, which is also distributed in the US through the Universal Music Group. The CD contained a duet with John Popper, and contributions from Glen Burtnik, John Eddie, Bobby Bandiera, Rob Hyman of the Hooters, David Bromberg, Erin Hill, and Japanese guitarist Kyogi Yamamoto. To support the release, Lisa did national tours with Meat Loaf, John Popper, and Ted Nugent.

In 2013 Lisa recorded a live CD, recorded at Lakehouse Studio in Asbury Park, NJ, featuring a live studio audience of fan club members. The resulting CD was released locally on Trash Can Dreams Records.

Lisa also co-wrote the song “Restore The Shore” with Bill Frankel, and recorded the song with an all-star cast of New Jersey musicians, including Garry Tallent, Jerry Gaskill, Bobby Bandiera, Lorenza Ponce, John Popper, Southside Johnny, Gary US Bonds, Glen Burtnik, Winston Roye, Fiona Flanagan, John Easdale, Jay Sielgel, Steve Forbert, Christine Martucci, Ernie White, Lisa Sherman, Pat Guadagno, Corey Wager, Keith Roth, Lee Mrowicki, Scott Rednor, Stephen DeAcutis, and Hal B. Selzer. The song was mixed by Michael Barbiero, and the proceeds from the sale of the song went to Hurricane Sandy relief.

In 2016 Lisa released “Whole Lotta Highway,” a fan-club only CD. The CD included a remixed version of “Only The Tequila Talkin’,” which was previously released on the “Bleu Room With A Red Vase” album, along with five tracks produced or co-produced in Los Angeles by Jeff Trott, who is well known for being Sheryl Crow’s producer and co-writer of many of her biggest hits. The remaining tracks were produced by Stephen DeAcutis at the Sound Spa in Edison, NJ.

In 2017, three of the songs from the album, “Only The Tequila Talkin’,” “Heart vs Mind,” and “If You Could Read My Mind,” were released on “Lipstick Tomboy,” a digital only EP, along with a “Tropical Party Remix” of “Luv Is Supposed To Be Fun.” The EP has garnered over one million streams on Spotify. A Video for "Only The Tequila Talkin'" has garnered over 100,000 views on YouTube.

Lisa has also contributed songs to a number of charity albums, including “Serve 3: Artists Against Hunger & Poverty,” put out by Hard Rock Café International, and “Inori Rebuilding Lives,” a Japanese release which benefited Tsunami relief. As a studio singer, she has performed on releases by Papa Carl Anderson, Anneli Svenson, Ernie White, and Frank Palmisano.

The show airs on The Comcast Network from Philadelphia down to Virginia. It is also seen on RCN in the Lehigh Valley, and Service Electric in northeastern Pennsylvania.
