Lisa Kindred (born in Buffalo, New York, on 1940; died 11 November 2019) was an American folk and blues singer.
Kindred was a figure in the Greenwich Village and Cambridge, Massachusetts, folk scenes of the 1960s. She played with Bob Dylan, Dave Van Ronk and other legendary folk singers, and was mentored by guitarist and songwriter Fred Neil. Kindred's debut album, I Like It This Way, was released on Vanguard Records in 1965.
Her second album was to have been released on Vanguard in 1966 under the title Kindred Spirit, but the master tapes were stolen and delivered to Mel Lyman, a musician in the backing band and soon-to-be leader of the Mel Lyman Family. The album was only released four years later on Warner Bros./Reprise Records under the aegis of the Lyman Family, titled American Avatar - Love Comes Rolling Down. The album cover showed a picture of Lyman, not Kindred.
In 1966, she organized and was the lead guitarist and singer with the UFOs, an avant-garde, all-female, rock band.
Kindred led and fronted the Haight Ashbury band, Ascension, featuring lead guitarist Debbie Olcese and Kindred on rhythm guitar.
Kindred subsequently self-released two albums, Steppin' Up In Class (2003) and Blues and Beyond (2013).
