  About the Monocle Summer Series

Born in Rock Island on the banks of the Mississippi, Lissie's musical talent was nurtured by the singing at her local Lutheran church and her grandfather, a former international barbershop quartet champion. Her debut album, Catching a Tiger, was released in June 2010, with tracks ranging from bluesy folk to unfettered pop.
