The official youtube site for country music singer Lisa Dames.
I'm a 40 year-old housewife trying to make a name for myself in a 20 year-old world, that world being the music industry, country music to be more specific. Since 2005 I have been pursuing a career in the country music industry while raising two daughters...and a husband. Prior to that I was a professional actress performing on stage throughout the country and in regional TV commercials.

In 2005, a record promoter that I had worked with, on a six song EP introduced me to David Grow. David is a Grammy nominated producer best known for his work with Jim Brickman. (The new romantic piano playing sensation.) David heard the demo that I had recorded and was interested in working with me on a full length project. This project No One Like Me was completed in March of 2006.

In May of 2006 we took one of the songs to country radio. Most country radio playlists consist of 25-30 songs. As an indie I was competing with the likes of Kenny Chesney, Carrie Underwood, Gretchen Wilson and Faith Hill. The first single Just Another Day reached #56 on the country radio chart with a total of 5960 spins on 43 stations nationally. The second single I'd Leave Me attained Top 40 status with total spins of 13,624 on 60 radio stations.

My video for Just Another Day debuted on national television and was added to CMT.com's website. CMT radio picked me as One to Watch for 2007. In November of 2007 CMT picked me as one of the top unsigned artists in America as part of their Music City Madness competition.

In May of 2007 I secured distribution through Select O Hits in Memphis, TN and my CD was placed in Wal*Mart stores. In December of the same year I did a series of in-store performances at NC area WalMart stores. This past year I have also opened shows for Craig Morgan, Trent Tomlinson and John Michael Montgomery.

Last summer and fall my guitar player, Sam Frazier, and I embarked on a 62 station, 20 state radio tour to promote Just Another Day. As part of my "million dollar marketing plan" I had my 2004 Toyota Sienna minivan wrapped with a picture of me. When I go through carpool all the kids yell, "That's Patti and Penny's Mom." The songs on my album are geared towards the Moms, not the kids. However, Stubborn is a favorite of my daughter's second grade class and Your Love is a favorite of my sixth grader and her friends. My husband's favorite is Takin' the Wheel. Mainly because he thinks that it means I'll drive and he can sleep.

Sounds Like: I think this is a trick question because no matter what I write here it only seeks to draw comparisons to other more well-known artists. And that will only lead you to say, or think, she sounds nothing like (insert famous person's name here). So I choose not to answer on the grounds that I may cause myself embarassment and you bewilderment at my thinking that I sound like (insert famous person's name here).
