LATEST LISIK NEWS: A new year, a new record (and book and concert film), and a new multi-state tour on the horizon



EXCESS BAGGAGE VOL. 11 ISSUE 1

Howdy kids - long time no talk to (and Happy New Year by the way) but since there has been quite a little bit o' news since the holidays (shoot on over to the shows page for more on that) we thought we'd drop you all a line.

Check out the latest issue of the the New Philadelphia Times Reporter (Jan. 21) for a very cool feature by Joe Wright on all the latest Lisik recording and touring news - including our next New Phile show Feb. 1 at Gavin's on the Square; a Feb. 6 appearance on the Fox 8 Morning Show; and upcoming Feb. and Mar. shows in Cleveland, Akron, Canton, Nashville, and State College, Pa. Gee, now I don't have to write another Excess Baggage for a few more weeks - thanks Joe!

And while we're at it, a big shout out to Pittsburgh-based writer-photographer Hugh Twyman for the First/Last interview this month on his HughShows blog.

Also, be sure to check out some in-the-works demos of songs from the upcoming Brian Lisik and the Unfortunates album - due summer 2014 - at our new Sound Cloud page .

So with all that said, stay tuned for updates on the new CD, a lyric book-on-the-road-memoir project, two concert film releases, and a (very secret, hush-hush for now) big national television show audition/showcase next month.

Till then, see ya at the shows!

Cheers,

Brian
