MESSY HOUSE CONCERT WINNER(S) ANNOUNCED


AND THE WINNER(S) IS...

Due to the ovewhelming response to the "Mess That Money Could Buy - Messy House Concert" contest, we've decided to sort of break our own rules and award a special house concert to the top three contestants drawn from the official "Messy House Concert" baseball cap. You know, just like they do for Miss America.

So here goes. The official first place winner is, Ed DeStephen, of Canal Fulton!!

Ed's first runner up (and winner of her own house concert, whether or not Ed is able to fulfill his duties as Queen...) is Diana Davis-Loy of Massillon!!

Third runner up (and winner of the you-too-can-be-part-of-the-house-concert-band-because-you-play-kick-ass-guitar special bonus prize) is Robb Myers of Cuyahoga Falls!!

Congratulations to the winners - our attorneys will be in contact to work out all the detais. And thanks so much for all who participated. Truth be told, we can probably work something out for each of you if ya REALLY wanted me to come over to your house and play guitar for a couple hours.

New "Mess" review from the Sept. 18 Pittsburgh Daily News.

   ‘The Mess That Money Could Buy’
Brian Lisik
(Cherokee Queen)


It’s been six long years since we last heard from Ohio-based singer/songwriter Brian Lisik, who cut his teeth fronting Giants of Science in the late 1990s and later went on to record a pair of rock-solid solo albums. “The Mess That Money Could Buy” is in the run-ning for best album title of the year and the 11-track collection of guitar-centric tunes makes for an equally enjoyable listen.

Opener “Small Town Royal Family” sets the tone, and after treading water for a little while with the so-so “Change on Your Own” and “To California,” Lisik hits his stride with keepers “Longest Day of the Year,” “Nights in Shining Amore,” “Five Other Rooms” and “I Want to Go Home.”

Here’s hoping Lisik won’t take six more years for his next album.

And look out Pittsburgh, Lisik and band will be appearing Oct. 5 at Howler's with Chet Vincent and the Big Bend and Grand Piano!
