Fischer’s 20 Feet from Stardom Also to be Shown the Prior Day, October 12, in the Resort’s Theatre
Grammy® Award-winning vocalist LISA FISCHER and her band, GRAND BATON, will present a rare and intimate concert on Thursday, October 13 at Renaissance Indian Wells Resort & Spa. The musical experience will be staged in conjunction with promoter Jimi “FITZ” Fitzgerald of CV 104.3 FM and provides a convenient setting for area residents – and for visitors who may be in town for the next day’s music festival. Showtime is 8:00 p.m., with Reserved Table ($75) and General Admission ($45) tickets now available for online purchase at www.tickettomato.com/event/3878 OR call 1-800-820-9884.
Lisa Fischer has been a touring member of The Rolling Stones for the past 27 years, and her popularity with fans has brought her to routinely duet onstage with Mick Jagger. She shares several lead song vocals with the band, including “Monkey Man” and “Gimme Shelter,” which showcase her vocal talents. Additionally, she has been a session and backup singer for Tina Turner, Sting, Chris Botti, Nine Inch Nails, the late Luther Vandross and other famous artists.
Lisa Fischer also co-stars in the Oscar®- and Grammy-winning documentary 20 Feet from Stardom, which premiered at the Sundance Film Festival in 2013, and which highlighted the achievements and stories of music’s unheralded minority women backup singers. In 2014 she joined many of the documentary’s featured singers, including Darlene Love, Merry Clayton, and Judith Hill, to sing the national anthem at the 100th Rose Bowl in Pasadena, California.
For those interested in seeing 20 Feet from Stardom, Renaissance Indian Wells Resort and Spa will show the film in their new movie screening room – RTheatre – starting at 11:00 a.m. on Wednesday, October 12 – the day before Fischer’s live concert. Fischer will be on hand that Wednesday evening as well, to participate in a post-screening Q & A session with Jimi Fitzgerald. Access to the screenings and Q & A event is complimentary and available on a first come-first served basis. The movie screening room RTheatre at the Renaissance Indian Wells Resort & Spa debuted last month and is already making its mark as an intimate entertainment venue for the region.
