Lisa's 4th CD is a gorgeous mix of sultry, snappy, and silly. Jazz-tinged with a bite, Koch moves from classic Aretha to her original breathtaking ballads--includes the hilarious "I'm A Middle-Aged Woman."

notes

Lisa's latest CD is jazz-flavored with a kick, and a nice mix of Koch originals and cover tunes. Songs include "I'm A Middle-Aged Woman" (about the joys of growing older), "You Are the One" (finding that special someone), "Waiting Song" (Barbara Higbie's haunting tune), "You Must Have Forgotten" (lost love), "Back When We Had Sex" (you get the idea), "Tall Cool Drink" (thirsty for love), and 5 more cool tunes. Appearances by Barbara Higbie, David Koch, and Jen Todd (Laura Love Duo). This is one fine CD, worth the wait!

LISA KOCH
(demented singer/songwriter/comedian/Britney Spears body-double...)

Picture the triangulated love child of Bette Midler, Lily Tomlin, and Karen Carpenter... and you’ve got Lisa Koch. An irreverent Seattle singer/comedian, Koch (“Coke”) is a deliciously twisted mix of comedy, theater, and demented songs. She has 4 solo recordings, is one-half of hilarious sketch-comedy duo, Dos Fallopia ("My Breasts Are Out of Control"), and is an alumnus of cult quartet Venus Envy ("I'll Be A Homo for Xmas"). She has shared the stage with a diverse group of performers-- Steve Martin, Dave Brubeck, Suzanne Westenhoefer, Kate Clinton, and Janis Ian.

Lisa has co-written such warped shows as "The Carpeters: Uncomfortably Close To You," “Two’s Company, I’m a Crowd,” and “Ham for the Holidays: Desperate Spuddwives.” She also finds time to work as an actor, appearing in "The Vagina Monologues,” "Dirty Blonde,” and as the Wicked Witch of the West in “The Wizard of Oz” (5th Ave Theatre). She performs regularly on Olivia Cruises, and tours her one-woman cabaret show, “Return to Planet Lisa". She is the composer of a new musical about Gertrude Stein and Alice B. Toklas ("27 rue de Fleurus"), which premeired Off-Broadway in the spring of 2008.

"...reminiscent of the uproariously tacky mishmash once beloved by the Divine Miss M.... " --Out Magazine

“Hearing Seattle’s Lisa Koch is one of life’s wickedest pleasures…”
--Curve Magazine

"Koch has the same mischievous energy as the early Bette Midler. She seems to have that sense of joi de vivre that makes her instantly likeable. She's an out lesbian with a universal appeal…" --Washington Blade

  • Tall Cool Drink
    author: Lynda Melnick

    I have three CDs of Lisa's. Love them all. I especially like her satitrical songs.

  • Lisa Koch
    author: stephanie dahlberg

    This gal makes me wish I were a lesbian! What a talent and a marvelous sense of humor, too! My only lukewarm comments apply to the remakes. Her own material is much better.

  • I was amazed
    author: Lissette Ayala

    I got this cd for Middle aged woman , but I was quickly surprised with all of the cd. this is a very nice cd and I will recommend it to all my friends.

  • I'm a Middle aged Woman
    author: Pat Wolfson

    Laughed so hard and cried at the same time. Do men get it?

  • Not what I expected!
    author: Sheila

    I saw Lisa perform on an Olivia cruise and she was awesome. I bought the CD expecting to hear the songs and laugh again. I did laugh at Middle Aged Woman and Back When We Had Sex, but I was blown away by the richness of her voice on the other songs, "You Are The One", "Tall Cool Drink" and the rest. Beautiful, beautiful voice, and a comedic, too. You can't go wrong with this one.

  • If you are a middle aged woman, you need this CD in your collection. It is absolutely fabulous!! I bought three...one for me and one for each of my sisters.

  • Ordering more
    author: Debra, Norfolk VA

    Heard the song via the Internet, like everyone else, and loved it enough to track it via Google, so I found the CD on my favorite CD site, CD Baby. I have ordered 2 copies so far, one for more, one for a birthday, and will be ordering 3 more copies for birthdays, un-birthdays, and just for fun. I love the mixing of the ballads and satire. It keeps the parody poignant.

  • great love the song middle aged women
    author: red hat queen mum fonda wells

    i am queen mum of a red hat group of ladies, and we are doing a dance to the song middle aged women at a red hat event in october. we think, all 16 of us, that it is a greatttt song. we laughed so hard, we want others to enjoy it as we did. thank you fonda wells

  • I love this cd!
    author: Melody

    I heard Middle Aged Woman on the radio and immediately looked it up on the internet. I sent it to my friends and they loved it too!! Very original and fun.

  • Easy listening, Love her style!!
    author: Greta

    I aslo got an E-mail of Middle Aged Woman. I thought it was right on target for my time of life. I love all the songs, can't get enough. I listen to them at work and in my car! Love the jazz blues!!

  • Musically Lisa´s best so far. But why mix satire & love?
    author: Lars Mjöen, Oslo, Norway.

    Got her song "Middle aged Woman" via e-mail, and have now purchased her last 3 CD´s. In my opinion Lisa´s strength is her sharp and witty lyrics combined with a beautiful voice, tasteful arrangements and great musicians.It´s not only great satire, but also nice to listen to!A rare combination. But why mix satire with a lot of love songs ? Here we have a new (Early)Bette Midler/Tom Lehrer.Why waste CD-space on love and cover versions of old standards ?

  • Fabulous female vocalist, love the lyrics and the voice!
    author: MB Gentry

    Brilliant, moving and fun songs, I've told all my friends to check out Lisa!

  • Tall Cool Talent......
    author: Jeanette Naasz

    This CD must be 100% reflective of the full talent of Lisa Koch, every cut is well done from the superb vocals and PYP humor.........music/musicians are top notch as well.....a must have CD.

  • Laugh out loud wonderful!
    author: Dale Kurow

    This is a great CD, witty, with terrific songs and lyrics. I'm buying copies for my friends!

  • I brought the CD for one cut, but was suprised at how talented you are.
    author: Lil Staarkey

    I loved Middle Aged Woman. It is the greatest. The artist, Lisa Koch, is an outstanding (unexpectanly so) vocalist. I enjoyed the CD very much.

  • Great CD! What a talent!
    author: Gaye Burgess

    Witty! Whimsical! Intelligent! poignant, irreverent, Hysterical. This cd is all that and more. Buy it. You won't be disappointed. Has a way of getting to the heart of the matter, allowing us to laugh at our humanity and is so life-affirming.
