Episode Synopsis

Let Us Know What You Think of the Show!Date: April 30, 2025Name of podcast: Backstage Pass RadioS8: E5: Lorraine Lewis - (Femme Fatale / Vixen) - Sunset Strip SurvivorSHOW SUMMARY:From jumping out of classroom windows in Albuquerque to commanding stages worldwide, Lorraine Lewis embodies the fearless spirit of rock 'n' roll in its purest form. In this candid, high-energy conversation, the former Femme Fatale and Vixen vocalist pulls back the curtain on her remarkable musical journey that began with Linda Ronstadt covers in local bands and led to the glitz and mayhem of the Sunset Strip during hair metal's heyday.  With disarming honesty, Lorraine recounts how she assembled Femme Fatale through sheer force of will, sharing both the exhilaration of being signed to MCA Records and the frustrations of never quite reaching the platinum-selling status she envisioned. Her reflections on why some bands exploded while others stalled reveal the complex interplay of talent, timing, and industry support that defined the era.  The conversation takes unexpected turns as Lorraine discusses her recent collaboration with Foreigner's Lou Graham (a dream thirty years in the making), her successful career as a television casting director, and her latest venture into OnlyFans, which she approaches with the same unapologetic authenticity that's defined her entire career. At 66, she dismisses conventional limitations, declaring, "The older I get, the more fearless I am."  What emerges is the portrait of an artist who has weathered industry upheavals without losing her passion or perspective. Lorraine's infectious laugh punctuates stories of rock star encounters and personal reinventions, offering wisdom on survival and self-reinvention in an industry notorious for chewing people up. "I've had the most fascinating life/career ever," she reflects, with the conviction of someone who's still writing exciting new chapters.  Subscribe to hear more unfiltered conversations with the personalities who've shaped rock history, and follow Lorraine's current projects at LorraineLewisRocks across all platforms.Sponsor Link:WWW.ECOTRIC.COMWWW.SIGNAD.COMWWW.RUNWAYAUDIO.COMBackstage Pass Radio Social Media Handles:Facebook - @backstagepassradiopodcast @randyhulseymusicInstagram - @Backstagepassradio @randyhulseymusicTwitter - @backstagepassPC @rhulseymusicWebsite - backstagepassradio.com and randyhulsey.comArtist(s) Web PageLorraine Lewis - FacebookCall to actionWe ask our listeners to like, share, and subscribe to the show and the artist's social media pages.
