It's been forever, hasn't it? I haven't been neglectful, just busy putting the new album together, which will be done very soon (I promise....)!
In the meantime, I could use your help. We're filming a segment for a new show on MPTV called "Around the corner with John McGivern" that features Bay View's Tonic Tavern and our rich music community. How can you help? Come be in the audience! The show is next Tuesday night, July 26th starting at 7:30pm.
The schedule for the night will be me starting things off, playing a short set, then you'll be entertained by the musical stylings of Christopher Porterfield (of Conrad Plymouth) as I do a short interview. Then Chris and I will play out the rest of the night.
We definitely need folks to fill out the room. And it's a FREE show! Please come out! We'll see you there!

Bittersweet October. The mellow, messy, leaf-kicking, perfect pause between the opposing miseries of summer and winter. -- Carol Bishop Hipps
October, October, where have you gone? Next week is November and we still have so much to do. Candy corn to be consumed, costumes to be sewn and an awesome Halloween show at Tonic Tavern to attend.
I’m always humbled by the talent I am privileged to share the stage with, but I must say that the moment is always sweeter when that talent is my friend Heidi Spencer. We’ll be at Tonic Tavern this Sunday night celebrating Halloween with fellow troubadour, Jeremiah Nelson. This show is free of charge and there will be candy involved.
If you are in the Midwest, I hope you have something steady to cling to in this wild wind. And I hope you will allow yourself to be swept in the direction of Bay View Sunday night.
Love,
Lisa

Dear Folks & Folkettes,
Fall flipped a switch at the beginning of September, and after the hottest and most humid summer I can remember, we are experiencing the most beautiful fall in Wisconsin. I also caught a cold, but luckily it’s being categorized as a fall cold and not a summer cold. Summer colds are the worst.
I have two very important shows this month and I hope you’ll be able to join me this weekend and the next. As you know, September in Wisconsin always plays host to AIDS Walk Wisconsin. I’m proud to be walking again this year in memory of my Uncle Scott, a brilliant musician, lost too soon. This Sunday, we’ll gather at Von Trier to raise a little extra money for the AIDS Walk. The show is free, but please throw a few dollars in the jar to help someone in need. To say thank you, you’ll enjoy free performances from some of my songwriter friends.
The following weekend there’s going to be a whole lot of Gatewoods up in the Bay View Brew Haus, so check that out as well.
As always, keep listening.
Love,
Lisa
