Lisa Hightower

Hello to all my friends and music lovers!
Sorry I haven't been in touch for awhile. As of late, most of my
gigs have been private affairs . I hope this finds you all doing
well and enjoying the coming of spring!
I have a couple of gigs coming up in the next month or two and
thought I would send out a blast now and then a little closer to
the actual dates.
First up is
Saturday May 11th at Hoffers Cigar Bar in La Mesa From
7:30-10:00 This will be with the same folks as the Cosmo
gig. Outdoor patio is small but the folks there really dig the
music so come on out to La Mesa!
That's it for now. I wish you all the best and hope to see you
out in the music scene soon!
Love Lisa
