Lisa Keating, Jazz Singer

Appearing with Cords and Strings in Santa Fe on Black Friday! Join me at Vivo Contemporary Art Gallery located at 725 Canyon Road on the day after Thanksgiving. Really looking forward to playing this very special event with master guitar player Jesse Vernier. Vivo is celebrating their best year ever! We’ve got an ambitious program of great music planned. Covering a wide range of material from Joni Mitchell and Burt Bacharach to Johnny Mercer and Irving Berlin, I’ll also help you get into the holiday spirit with a special reading of ‘Twas The Night Before Christmas set to music and a small selection of Christmas music putting the Santa in Santa Fe.

Join us for a romantic evening of Latin love songs and soaring movie themes for Summer at historic El Farol in Santa Fe (since 1835). We’ll take the stage at 7:30 pm in the Flamenco room. Reservations are required. Dinner service is from 6:30. Please request the show room when making your reservation. Show tickets are $20. Enjoy a spectacular day on world-famous Canyon Road! Shop the galleries, sip wine along the way and settle into El Farol for an evening of fine dining and delicious entertainment by Cords & Strings. Lisa Keating Vocals and Jesse Vernier Guitar.

A snap during set up for rehearsal in my husband's art studio. Here's a little live video from our show with Justin Bransford on bass and me and Jesse Vernier from Cords and Strings. This was our first outing on this material. Here I am dipping my toe in the waters of singing in Portuguese. I'm looking forward to exploring more lyrics in this poetic, liquid language of love.
