By Lisa Keating

Bitten by the jazz bug in the cradle, Keating has always resonated with music forged by earlier generations. Studying piano and voice privately with Art Ched, Chip Hand, Howlett Smitty Smith, Deborah Schulman and taking Master Classes with vocal luminaries, Seth Riggs and Mark Goodman, Keating has explored and refined her technique and phrasing on a quest to serve the music with emotion and the power of her own heart. 


After undergraduate work in theatre at UCLA, Keating began producing her own shows as well as working for the likes of Leiber and Stoller (Smokey Joe's Café, Is That All There Is, Bernie's Tune), Roseanne (The Roseanne Show) and director, Mel Shapiro. Collecting rave reviews and critic’s awards along the way, Keating has toured the Western United States, Mexico, played in NYC, Las Vegas and Paris as well as performing an extended run in Japan. Married to award-winning fine artist, Warren Keating, the couple now make their home in New Mexico. 


A California native, Lisa founded EncinoMom.com in 2010. Located in the San Fernando Valley, Encino is a suburb of Los Angeles. The Keatings called the Valley home for more than 20 years. At EncinoMom.com, Lisa regularly hosted episodes of California Living, bringing the enjoyment of family life, travel and the California Lifestyle to the world.

I'll be on Canyon Road with Russell Scanlon on guitar at ViVO Contemporary's Gratitude Concert. The event, hosted by the gallery as a thank you to the community is free and open to the public. We're very much looking forward to playing together in duo format tomorrow. Our set lists promise depth and variety with a little Portuguese and French mixed into the evening's repertoire. Stop by and say hello. Downbeat is at 5:30 pm. We're in the Six to Hit on the SFGA website this week, too!

Zozobra

By
So, I've been a little busy. First the Kiwanis Club of Santa Fe had 32 of these 4' Zozobras designed and molded out of fiberglass. Then I helped place them with 32 artists in 32 locations around town. It has been a blast to be a part of this epic augmentation of the annual celebration of the Burning of Zozobra! This year marks the 100th anniversary of this Santa Fe tradition which began as the highlight of a party with Los Cinco Pintores, in Will Schuster's backyard. Zozobra was "only" 6' tall at that original spectacle. Here we are 100 years later and 32 of these fine art finished little buggers are preparing to congregate at the Convention Center, with the Zozobra effigy being burned on August 30th at Fort Marcy Park. The Zozobra marionette has grown to some 50' tall and the chanting, moans, groans, and fireworks can be seen for miles! Pictured right, is the first piece finished. It was transformed by Santa Fe artist (and former professional rodeo clown)...
