Gosh, what can I say to you to get you to listen to my new record? I know - I'll tell you my favorite joke. Ok, ready? How do you make a million dollars as a folk singer? Start with two. Surroundings is my third independent recording and I can honestly say I am grateful for the independence. I made the record I have always wanted to make. I had an absolute blast making it. It took one year and is how I imagine it feels like to have a baby growing in a womb. I could go on with a whole bunch of I, I, I, I's and me, me, me stuff here but hopefully you are already listening to the sound samples. (insert fingers crossing and sheepish grin here) Ok--One last thing, before my official one page bio. I am a guitar instructor by day. I spend twenty hours a week playing guitar, teaching and encouraging the beginner. What do you think I do with my free time? Play more guitar, sing, write songs, tour from city to city and record spoken word poets or independent acoustic artists in my home studio. I can't imagine another life and am blessed with all the opportunities I have had to live this one exactly this way... Thank YOU for listening. Your support is my musical longevity. "If you relate best to performers whose appeal lies in brave, yet serene, delivery and sonic texturing that is subtle rather than flash, Lisa Kane warrants a high place on your mustsee/ must-hear list." - T.Alexander, Pulse of the Twin Cities. Today that opportunity is presenting itself on a national level. 1997 saw the end of Kane's endeavors as a funk fusion guitarist in the well followed, well rehearsed Minneapolis punk band Zelpha Trippe. Letting go of the luxuries of her effects processor, Lisa relied on her education in music theory and spent the next few years honing her performance skills locally and regionally from coffeehouses and house concerts to bars and charity events. Song Schools have allowed for a deeper glance into creativity along side Patty Larkin, Cliff Eberhardt, Ellis Paul, Beth Nielsen-Chapman, Don Conoscenti and Maggie Simpson. Kane released her debut album Old Strings & All in 1999. Three songs from that disc were selected for a John Ervin film The Vixen Highway. Her follow up release Sooner... than later received an Independent Folk Release 2001 award with Spectator Magazine and a feature story on the Minnesota Public Radio Round Up program. Both releases have landed her performances at The Minnesota Music Awards and the title of Twin Cities Favorite Female Performer with The Minnesota Women's Press in January of 2002. She has shared stages with Vance Gilbert, Grant Hart, Danny Flannigan, Kevin Bowe and Renee Austin. Lisa Kane released her third independent full length CD Surroundings in June of this year. Her latest accomplishment features piano, saxophone, violin, percussion, mandolin, banjo and drum. It is currently being reviewed by major publications world-wide. On June 23rd it reached the number four position on the most requested and played spot with KFAI. Seven days later it reached number one and has remained there since. The date of this writing is October 14th 2002.
