Now's the Time: Lisa Engelken
I've spent a lot of time with Lisa Engelken's album Caravan in recent days. It's an exceptionally savvy jazz vocal project. Her reading of the Billy Idol hit "White Wedding" is a case in point. Engelken, a native Kansan currently based in San Francisco, plays Jardine's on Friday, June 24. She'll be backed by Stan Kessler, Roger Wilder, Gerald Spaits and drummer Matt Swindells.
Interesting cover, shame the guitar player thinks they're David Gilmour.
