In the fall of 2002, Lis Harvey completed a record-setting fifty-states-in-sixty-days-tour. Yet, Harvey's music isn't just about quantity She began classical piano lessons at age five, and was poisoned by the Fender Strat years later. Her music explores the border of romanticism and road-hard realism. The Washington Post says, "she's a romantic, all right, but not the empty-headed kind."
