From her roots in the American South, where she joined her first band years ago, Denise Lisenby (now, Allen) brings to her performances an elegant mix of poignant power and longing that is the essence of great contemporary music. Not Just Another Diva is her first album, and brilliantly demonstrates her wide range of mastery in sixteen original blues, rock and gospel songs. Denise has performed in the American Southwest and across Europe since 2003, and with her own band, The Denise Allen Band, since 2005.
