“Some artists write when they’re happy,” says Lisa Bouchelle. “Some write when they’re down and out. I write every single day, and that’s why I think this album encompasses so much: the joy and the pain, the hope and the doubt, the bitter and the sweet. That’s life.” On her intoxicating new album, Vandals, Thieves & Lovers, Bouchelle grapples with the full spectrum of the human experience, balancing darkness and light in equal measure as she navigates her way through love, loss, loneliness, and liberation. Recorded with a host of special guests including Amanda Shires, Larry Campbell, Jake Clemons from Bruce Springsteen’s E Street Band, Waddy Wachtel, Clay Cook from the Zac Brown Band, and Doyle Grisham from Jimmy Buffett’s Coral Reefer Band, the collection takes a similarly wide-ranging sonic approach, drawing on folk, country, rock, blues, gospel, soul, and funk as it weaves together the disparate threads of American roots music into a captivating, cohesive whole. Add it all up and you’ve got a timeless work that’s as indebted to Laurel Canyon and Bakersfield as Memphis and Motown, a raw, revelatory exploration of survival and resilience that showcases just how far Bouchelle has come, and, just as importantly, where she’s headed. “Bouchelle’s songs provide an invaluable message of positivity and uplifting inspiration... that’ll get stuck in your head for days" - American Songwriter Magazine “Lisa Bouchelle has a sound all her own, mixing Americana, pop, funk, and singer-songwriter... one of the underground music world’s most respected artists” – Relix Magazine “…she can stand toe-to-toe with any of her songwriting contemporaries..." - Pete Fornatale, Legendary SiriusXM Syndicated Radio Host "In a world full of talented female artists such as Sheryl Crow, Margo Price and Brandi Carlile, Lisa Bouchelle just may rise to the top of the genre..." - The Aquarian Weekly
