You might listen to her middays on Sunny 105.7 or you may listen to her at one of your favorite restaurants in Gulf Shores. Either way, you have probably heard the sounds of Lisa Christian if you live in Gulf Shores. Her smooth, bluesy sound and offbeat charm has kept her a local favorite for nearly twenty years. She is currently recording her newest album and it’s due for release in summer of 2024.

The Coastal Alabama Business Chamber recently got to honor local musician, Sunny 105.7 disc jockey, and troubadour Lisa Christian with the April 2024 Island Spirit Award!

The nomination letter we received for Lisa noted:

"Lisa is a vibrant being that is full of life and she radiates that in everything she does. We met Lisa when she did a live remote broadcast at our grand opening, there were people coming to the store simply because she was there. Since then we have followed her to BINGO at Tacky Jacks every Wednesday, we go because of Lisa.

She is one of those people you just want to be around and makes you feel better about life. The Island is beyond blessed to have someone like Lisa representing our local businesses here. I know we all hear her on the radio but that is not just an act, she is the same person in real life."

The committee was able to pop-in to the Sunny 105.7 studio and surprise Lisa with flowers, a cash prize, the traveling Island Spirit plaque, a plaque to keep, and a copy of the nomination letter.
