As a performer since the age of 15, Lisa Hartt (nee Eisenhardt) got her start as backing vocalist with Gino Vannelli's touring band. She later fronted an all woman quintet for five years in Europe doing big band material before returning to Montreal.

In 1973 she decided to front her own act,The Lisa Hartt Band, which featured Will Cardinal (Satan & The D-Men, Ronnie Hawkins & The Hawks, The Bells), Blake (Mashmakhan), Yuen (Tranquillity Base) and Cordrey (Bearfoot, Small Wonder). They released several singles from 1975-1977 which provided the opportunity to tour the world but with little commercial success.

Following the addition of Denny Gerrard on bass (Paupers, Lighthouse), they released an album in 1976 called 'Starwatcher' with heavy weight producers Phil Ramone and Ralph Murphy, but still with no industry attention. The group split and Lisa Hartt continued as session vocalist for the likes of Ken Tobias and Cliff Jones.
