Well, folks! After years of traveling the world, making headline news at every turn and visiting the most exclusive nightclubs to discover "what's hot" in pop music... wait a minute. That's Paris Hilton. I am Lis Harvey. And I don't know what's hot! But I do know what's fun: new music, immediate satisfaction, and thimbles. I've spent a couple of recent weeks in various retreat/recording modes, and things are sounding amazing in the studio. This time around, I am controlling all the levers and switches (and "mwa-ha-ha"s and bubbling beakers full of green fluid). And I am so very, very pleased to announce that a new album will be born in February! Featuring... all new songs! I'm even happier to say that you can preorder the CD right now, granting yourself both immediate satisfaction and points toward sainthood.

In more immediate news, I'm taking some new songs on the road. My "Sharp As A Thimble" tour starts in California this weekend, and will be coming soon to a venue near you... if you live in CA, OR, WA, MT, ND, WI, IL, NH, MA or NY, that is. Come and say hi! I've named the tour after our president. Um, I mean a lyric in a new tune. And thanks to the machine shop at the University of California, you'll be able to examine an exciting (if overly literal) new line of Lis Harvey tour merchandise: sharp-as-a-thimble necklaces! They are wicked neat, if I do say so myself. Very Antiques-Roadshow. Many of the thimbles are, in fact, antiques, and over half of them came from the UK. On little thimble boats. With little thimble suitcases and tiny thimble children. Each one has been fashioned into a pendant on a silver-plated, ball-bead chain. (Not the young ones, of course.) You can order them off the website as long as I have them on hand:
