Lisa Marie Presley Performs in Natick on Nov. 22

Though the child of a superstar, Lisa Marie Presley has carved a career on her own thanks to her natural songwriting talent and smoldering alto. With a strong base in Southern folk and roots music, Presley’s sound is gentle and tender while unflinchingly honest and frank.

Over the years, Presley has collaborated with artists like Alison Krauss, B.B. King, Willie Nelson, Elton John, and more. Presley’s newest music video, “Over Me,” was released in July to much fanfare. 

Check out show at The Center for Arts in Natick on Summer Street at 8 p.m. on Nov. 22. Tickets are $35 ($30 members) and can be bought at http://www.natickarts.org/tcan_ticketsales.php, or by calling 508-647-0097.
