"Alt-folksinger Lis Harvey draws her "spring-stream songs" from literary and classical roots (DIRTY LINEN), using fingerstyle guitar and breezy vocals to create a storyscape that speaks to late nights and long drives. Lis (Liz spelled with an S) is probably best known for setting a Guinness World Record. Her Fifty-State Tour - 50 states in 60 days - was the first in recorded history. She has been featured in Ripleys Believe It Or Not ( seriously ), on NPR, and once on CNN Headline News. She is not a great meteorologist.
