Guitar
Lisa Liu joined the Django In June teaching staff in 2018, and has done a terrific job helping all sorts of people at all levels of ability. She has a special gift, though, for helping newcomers start their Gypsy jazz journey on the right finger. We expect her to prove that to all the brave Level 1 players at at DiJ again this year.
From her bas in Brooklyn, NY Lisa serves as an Artist Ambassador for Santa Cruz Guitar Company and is endorsed by Krivo Pickups who make custom handmade pickups for gypsy jazz guitars. She also has an online Teaching Channel on Truefire called The Shed.
Here she is playing an original Django Reinhardt tune, “Duke & Dukie,” with other esteemed Django In June faculty and friends at The Strathmore Arts Center:
Lisa has performed at Django in June, as well as the Django Reinhardt Festival (France), SiX The Musical on Broadway, The Music Center at Strathmore (MD), Big Ears Music Festival (Knoxville, TN), The Smithsonian National Portrait Gallery (Washington DC) Joe’s Pub (NYC), and Barbès (NYC).
