BRIAN LISIK THE MESS THAT MONEY COULD BUY T-SHIRTS ARE IN!!

Lisik stars as rocker Billy James in new online film, "Open Mic - The Series"

Brian Lisik and drummer Joe Waller joined the cast of Henry J. Konczak's film Open Mic - The Series, July 5 for a live concert segment at the historic Lion's Theater in Massillon, Oh.

The majority of the film, which follows a group of Nashville-based musicians (including Steve McClain, pictured with Lisik) in search of a record contract, was cast and filmed in Music City.

Lisik portrays Billy James, the musical nemesis of McClain's character, Hans. Since, you know, just like all those cool old Beatles and Elvis movies, there  always has to be a musical nemesis...


Details coming soon on the film's release and distribution. Visit  Open Mic - The Series  for more information.

LATEST LISIK NEWS: NEW RECORDING SET TO START, AND AKRON, YOUNGSTOWN, CLEVELAND - HERE WE COME

EXCESS BAGGAGE: VOL. 10 ISSUE 1

Long time no talk to kiddies, but there has been plenty brewing.  So here ya go.

THIS WEEKEND, I will be making my debut at a couple clubs - the Ohio Brewing Company in Akron April 26, and the Lemon Grove (thank you very much Alexis Antes!) in Youngstown (promise I won't sing the Bruce Springsteen song...too obvious...) April 27.  Then, on May 3, I will return to  Brother's Lounge in Cleveland, followed shortly afterward that night by the legendary rosavelt, which will be performing in the Brother's main hall.  Check out brianlisik.com for details, and pick up copies of the Youngstown Vindicator and Warren Tribune Chronicle this week for coverage of the shows and the latest CD, The Mess That Money Could Buy.  And hope to see ya all out at the shows.

MEANWHILE, THE UNFORTUNATES and I will be heading back to the studio in May with engineer/co-producer Benjamin Payne (Tracey Thomas, Yankee Bravo) to begin work on the follow-up to The Mess That Money Could Buy.  With around 20 songs ready to roll tape on, this is officially the most new material we've ever had at our disposal at any one given time; it's also (in my humble opinion) the best we've ever had in one place at one time.  So stay tuned for updates throughout the recording.

AND LAST BUT NOT LEAST, Henry J. Productions, in association with Cherokee Queen Records, will be releasing the Brian Lisik and the Unfortunates concert film Save Me From My Life (Live) this summer, featuring a full set recorded at Buzzbin Records in July 2012 along with on-the-road footage and the official music video for the song "Five Other Rooms."

TILL NEXT TIME, see ya at the shows kids!
