Luisa Marshall Bio

Luisa Marshall is a singer, performer, tribute artist, TV host, editor, scriptwriter, producer and anti-bullying advocate based in Vancouver, British Columbia.

Her popular TV show, Simply the Best, is a local independent production on the Shaw Multicultural Channel and aims to inspire, educate and entertain viewers from all walks of life.

In 1995, while on stage with her band during a show in Dubai in the United Arab Emirates, Luisa gave in to the persistent request of a fan to wear a wild “Tina Turner” wig while she and her band performed Proud Mary. The combination of her strong vocals, her rock ‘n’ roll attitude and her astounding resemblance to the Queen of Rock brought the house down. That night, Luisa’s career as a tribute artist was born, however, it wasn’t until late 1999 that she decided to take her Tina Turner tribute act seriously. Within a few years, in 2003, she competed in and won the grand prize as the World Rock ‘N Roll Tribute Artist Champion, beating out participants from all over the world.

SHOW DATES

HOPE BEYOND THUNDERDOME

World Champion Tribute Artist Luisa Marshall as Tina Turner toured from Vancouver to St. John’s NL on her HOPE BEYOND THUNDERDOME – Canadian Veteran PTSD Awareness Tour 2016.

Luisa Marshall titled the tour “HOPE BEYOND THUNDERDOME”.  Years ago, Luisa performed for the United Nations Peacekeeping Force in a grueling show tour that included war-torn Bosnia, Sarajevo and later the Multinational Force and Observers (MFO) in Israel and Egypt. The most requested song on both tours was WE DON’T NEED ANOTHER HERO (THUNDERDOME). Luisa realized THUNDERDOME was a metaphor of the state they were in at the time, and HOPE is what we need to give them. Luisa thinks back about the young military men she met. “They were like babies to me,” Marshall states. “They need our help”.

Luisa would like to raise awareness and in her own little way, in part, raise funds at the same time for Veteran PTSD issues. Luisa has committed $5 of each ticket to go to the local NL PTSD program PTSD Buddies. https://www.luisamarshall.com/hope-beyond-thunderdome-tour-2016-canadian-veteran-ptsd-awareness-tour/ Facebook Tour Page: https://www.facebook.com/Luisa-Marshall-as-Tina-Turner-Hope-Beyond-Thunderdome-Tour-2016-492039347655430/

After the tour Luisa and her band performed at the Vancouver Island Music Fest 2016 before she and her crew flew to Malaysia for three shows.
