“Ever since we heard Lisa Bastoni’s poetic words, clever turns of phrase, and the way she takes over the stage, we have fallen in love with her music,” says Stephen Ide, artistic director of the Rose Garden Coffeehouse. “With Sean Staples on mandolin and adding vocals, a certain magic happens that has to be heard to be believed. We’re thrilled to have her back in the Garden.”
