“Music that will seep deep into the veins given half a chance.” Irish Times
Lisa Hake is a singer-songwriter-guitarist whose home is Dundalk, County Louth. She hails from the wine country hills of Northern California and before that, the coal mining mountains of West Virginia.
Hake has been “captivating audiences around the country with her mellifluous voice, soft melodies and introspective stories” reports O2 Making Waves. In the US, a DJ from Virginia described Hake as having “a voice like a young Emmylou Harris and fresh rootsy-rhythmic arrangements that …recall recent Iron & Wine.”
During the past three years in Ireland, Hake has recorded two albums: Her debut, Tree Over Sea, was “a fine pop album that evokes the sounds of Fleetwood Mac and Steely Dan in more or less equal parts” according to Sarah McQuaid of the Evening Herald. Her second, Wind Under Wood, has just been released and early thoughts from Jackie Hayden of Hot Press call it a “fine showcase for her introspective soft-rock approach, oozing confidence and panache…with mellow ‘60’s overtones… straddling a number of genres, from folk to indie rock, without ever falling over.”
Surrealistic story songs involving Tarot cards, worry dolls, and the Theory of Relativity...hypnotic acoustic guitar paired with sexy double-bass…Nick Drake reincarnated as a woman this time around.

After you've finished here, you may like to hear this poem sung on myspace...
Poem 162 of 230, WalkaboutsVerse (please see my blog): TEES TO TYNE: FIRST IMPRESSIONS - SUMMER 2001
Where traditions are not so rare; Sea, country and works scent the air; A multitude of monuments, Planted tubs and patterned pavements.
The longish pedestrian malls; The remnants of defensive walls; Historic buildings are a gauge Of the respect for heritage.
Wheat, rape and pines in the fields; Estuaries guarded by shields; Long sandy beaches and wide scenes; Romantic-ruin go-betweens.
Rivers in parts licked by trees, Or fringed by boat clubs, wharfs, gantries, And crossed by practical delights - Varied spans, forming pleasing sights.
Fine churches headed at Durham; Football kits ad infinitum; Kept castles - one for study; Masonry behind masonry.
And, with moulding-works out that way, It’s somewhere for a longer stay..?

Ludwig’s Pilot Radio Show on AFC. Tuesday 14th 9pm Hey folks…
As a few of you already know, for the last couple of years, I have been running a Sunday acoustic session in The Rotterdam Bar originally and more recently in White’s Tavern in Belfast.
It’s a night where local singer-songwriters are given a chance to play their songs and to progress to a paid gig (the Thursday sessions) with their peers on support.
It’s working well so far… but I always felt that it could do with a wee boost.
Well, Djay Buddha (Rick at AFC) has given me an opportunity to do just that… I have created a one-hour pilot show featuring some of those Sunday session artists…
Now… If you support this then I may be in a strong position to argue for a regular slot!!
You can listen by going here – remember… 9pm Tuesday 14th oct
and scroll down and click on the AFC Radio link (it’s the one with the picture of a microphone on it)
While you are there, feel free to check out what AFC are all about.
AND FOR ADDED VALUE - IF YOU ARE THERE LIVE THEN I WILL BE ON THE CHAT LINK FOR LIVE CHAT DURING THE SHOW... SO IF YOU DO CLICK ON THE CHAT LINK BETWEEN 9 AND 10 TOMORROW NIGHT INTRODUCE YOURSELF AND SAY HELLO!!
Also… I would appreciate a little feedback!
