Things can lead to a swoon, under a June Moon. Lisa will explore the experience of loving by pairing Rumi's poetry with her songs. The evening's program will include an eclectic mix of musical styles and the debut of new works within a unique quintet configuration.

Lisa Engelken is a passionate jazz vocalist and bandleader. Since moving to San Francisco, Lisa has arranged & produced Caravan ("Best of 2010" by the Jazz Journalists Association) and Little Warrior (Top 10 Jazz Albums of 2013) that exhibit her propensity to push the boundaries of the jazz vocal canon.

Lisa alternately locomotes and floats through tunes, serving up her unique blend of "hybrid-jazz" that combines whimsy with elements of bop, swing, Brazilian, Afro-Cuban, rock, blues, country, and classical forms.
