Perry resident and indie rocker Brian Lisik talks new music, Don Dixon
Brian Lisik is a scrappy indie rocker who won't give up. That's a compliment. The 57-year-old singer-songwriter from Perry Township seemingly is forever on a quest for more songs and more live gigs. A search for a sound that's both old and new. Finding that balance on his new album, "...presents The Slovak Club," was both haphazard and at least loosely planned. With several albums to his credit, the Akron native and Northeast Ohio recording artist initially set out only to jam with his brother, Craig Lisik, in a low-fi environment. But the resulting songs have evolved into an inspired new studio effort that will please longtime fans but also offer a twist or two along the way. Lisik sought to capture the spirit of an impromptu basement free-for-all that grew into seven new tracks. Highlights include the spunky "Why I'm Here," a bouncy, catchy tune with jangly guitar, varied instrumentation and punk rock gumption − all anchored with Lisik's raspy vocals straight from the gut and heart. Lisik's new material will be featured Nov. 7 in a solo concert and album release event at The Rialto Theatre in Akron, as well as a show Nov. 13 at The Dive
