Lisa Lougheed

While still a teenager, Lougheed received a job as a singer and voice actress for The Raccoons.[5] She was hired when Kevin Gillis, the show's creator, was on a Canada-wide search for a new singer.

Evergreen Nights, Lougheed's debut album, consisted of songs from The Raccoons and was released in late 1987 under CBC Records.[7] Half of the songs were recorded while Lougheed had a cold.[6] A limited number of copies were released on cassette tapes and vinyl records at the time, but the album was reissued on vinyl in 2019 by Return To Analog Records.[8] Lougheed did not know Evergreen Nights was going to be released as an album because she thought the songs were only being used for the show.[6]

Run with Us, the theme song for The Raccoons and the first track on Evergreen Nights, was used in the 2011 movie Hobo with a Shotgun.[2]

World Love, Lougheed's second album, was released in March 1992[9] with Sony Music Canada[10] and Warner Music Canada.[11] She began recording for the album in the summer of 1991.[10] It was Lougheed's first album to contain songs she co-wrote, which was nine of the ten tracks.[12]

Lougheed performed for a Canada Day celebration at Ontario Place that same year.[13] She was also a performer at Niagara Falls' New Year's Eve show, along with Glass Tiger and Prescott-Brown.[14] The event was aired on CJOH-DT and hosted by Nerene Virgin, Ken Shaw, and Kathie Donovan.[15]

"Love Vibe," the fourth song on Lougheed's World Love album, was briefly played on "Graduation Day," episode five in season three of Northwood.[2] The song was also on MuchMusic's Weekly Singles Chart for ten weeks.[16]

Peace + Harmony, Lougheed's third album, was released in August 1993. It was recorded in Toronto, New York City, Chicago,[5] and New Jersey.[1] Lougheed collaborated with seven different writers and producers,[5] including Mike "The Hitman" Wilson, David Morales,[17] Christopher Max, Paul Scott, and Shank Thompson. Lougheed co-wrote 24 songs with twelve different writers in the span of two weeks, but the album only had ten tracks.[1] Lougheed toured across Canada to promote her album, performing in the cities of Saskatoon,[18] Calgary, Edmonton, Surrey, and Vancouver.[17]

"Won't Give Up My Music," the first song on Lougheed's Peace + Harmony album, was in MuchMusic's top ten Weekly Singles Chart for twelve weeks.[19]

In January 1994, Lougheed performed "Won't Give Up My Music" at AidScare, AidsCare, A CBC hosted event that was aimed at teenagers to raise awareness of AIDS and promote safe sex.[20] Jonathan Torrens was the event's host. Additional show members were Sue Johanson, Suzie Landolphi, Snow, The Vacant Lot, and Corky and the Juice Pigs.[21]

Lougheed was also a judge for the YTV Vocal Spotlight in April 1994.[22] She performed again at Niagara Falls' New Year's Eve show, this time alongside Blue Rodeo and Ashley MacIsaac. Ken Shaw returned as a host and with him was Beverly Thomson and Howard Glassman.[23]

Lougheed has presumably since left the music industry. Her most recently credited vocal work was with Celine Dion and R. Kelly.[24]
