Overview

Inspired by the great southern Soul singers, Liza Ohlback has a stunning voice, from the depths of Etta James, the highs of Aretha, and the richness of Mavis Staples.

With a slightly “Burlesque” feel, Liza weaves her stories and emotions into a unique style of Soul drenched Blues, New Orleans Jazz with a generous lashing of Gospel!! 

Audiences at major festivals and venues have been transfixed with her passion, and striking performances. She starred in the rockumentary “Pearl – the Janis Joplin Story” touring Australia for 3 years to packed theatres, venues and festivals.

A triple “Chain” award winner, Her last CD Mercy Train topped the charts in Australia and the U.S. and was in the top 20 favourite artists for 2019- 2020. Her new CD Unravelling is charting in Aust, UK and The U.S.
