About
LISA LISA IN CONCERT:
Freestyle icon Lisa Lisa always brings the dance party on her fun-loving live tours, delivering decade-spanning sets of her funky hits to nostalgic fans. Body-rocking jams like “I Wonder If I Take You Home” and “Head to Toe” sound as fresh today as they did in the ‘80s, and Lisa Lisa’s spunky energy and groove sense remain as infectious as ever. Whether she’s throwing it back with ‘80s freestyle favorites or busting out recent material like her 2009 collaboration with Pitbull, Lisa Lisa is a top-drawer performer whose beat-heavy shows always take fans on a dance-worthy journey down memory lane.
BACKGROUND SNAPSHOT:
Lisa Lisa and Cult Jam were one of the first acts to break out of NYC’s nascent freestyle scene in the mid-‘80s. New York-born Lisa Lisa, aka Lisa Velez, is of Puerto Rican descent, and grew up surrounded by both Latin music and urban contemporary styles in the city’s multicultural mix. In the mid-‘80s legendary R&B group Full Force discovered Velez, and they put together her backing band Cult Jam and began writing and producing tracks for the group’s debut. Lisa Lisa and Cult Jam released their first album Lisa Lisa & Cult Jam with Full Force in 1985. The record produced several Gold-selling singles including the dance chart No. 1 “I Wonder If I Take You Home”. The band’s rise continued in 1987 with sophomore album Spanish Fly, a Platinum-certified smash that earned them two consecutive No. 1s on the Hot 100 – “Head to Toe” and “Lost in Emotion”. The band continued to be a regular presence on the dance chart through the rest of the decade, but in 1991 they called it quits. Lisa Lisa found some success as a solo artist in the mid-‘90s with moderate hits like “Skip to My Lu” and “When I Fell in Love”, but she spent much of the ‘00s out of the spotlight. She made a triumphant return in 2009 with her sixth studio album Life ‘n Love, and continues to turn it out with party-worthy performances at freestyle festivals around the country.

by jacdfl on 11/2/15NYCB Theatre at Westbury - Westburyabsolutely awesome (for lack of words). Been to a few. This was a small enough venue. Performers were great - as usual. Cocktails were themed for Halloween. Local.

by MarioV33 on 11/2/15NYCB Theatre at Westbury - WestburyThe line-up of performers was excellent and the Theatre at Westbury was great. The stage revolves so every seat in the place was good.

by dgodson32 on 5/6/15Queen Mary Events Park - Long BeachThe old school crowd rocked the house and got down. A lot of songs I remember a lot I didn't but they all were awesome. Got to give them all credit. Over 30 years ago they were rocking it. And today they are still going.

by 80sfan12987 on 4/29/15Queen Mary Events Park - Long Beachshow was great a couple of the performers during the meet and greet didn't really seem like you wanted to be there and the tickets the VIP tickets behind the stage were okay but there were some obstructions that made it hard to see get there early because they ran out of parking at the Queen Mary and has a shuttle shuttle us in and the will call ticket line was way too long in the VIP section there were no seats it was standing room only

by RealKat on 4/29/15Queen Mary Events Park - Long BeachThe event was fun and an all around good time. The only problem I had was the lack of adequate porto-potties for the number of people.

Rating: 4 out of 5 Freestyle Festival "old school"
by 1Farmer1 on 4/29/15Queen Mary Events Park - Long BeachThe show was great but the sound system was distorted, too much bass. The parking situation was horrible along with the amount restrooms. The line up was great but I have no clue to as why Vanilla Ice was the headliner. He was the worst act in the line up and probably should have been the opening act or probably should have been left off of the line up all together. They also said the the concert was going to start at 5 but when I got to my seat I was told that they started early and we missed 3 performers. All in all it was still a great show.

Rating: 4 out of 5 Loved it but too many people!
by RSPTeacher on 4/28/15Queen Mary Events Park - Long BeachI loved the concert overall; but there were too many people. I was disappointed that Sheila E. and Expose' weren't there on Saturday Night, those 2 were the ones I REALLY wanted to see. Not that I didn't enjoy myself otherwise.

by BeachBunny90278 on 4/28/15Queen Mary Events Park - Long BeachLoved this concert! Great artists and music from back in the day. The VIP tickets were definitely worth it. Would go again next year. I would have gone every year if I knew about it.
Rating: 4 out of 5 Trinere rocked the show!!
by Loriiirod on 4/28/15Queen Mary Events Park - Long BeachWas disappointed only because when I bought my tickets, I bought them because of whom was gonna perform and to my surprise 5 artists didn't not perform. So that was diffenitly wrong and I'm not to happy about that. And the DJ played more Oldschool then freestyle music witch was another let down. The only thing that made my night was Trinere, LisaLisa, The cover girls what a show!!
