Music in the Stacks is a showcase of local and national musicians who entertain regularly in Northern Arizona. There are 3-5 different performers during the show, with a rotating variety each month.
January's concert features Bernice Lewis, Christy Fisher and Ed Cooper.
With almost four decades of performing festivals, concert halls, coffeehouses, colleges, and house concerts, along with a half dozen acclaimed CDs, Bernice Lewis has built a solid national fan base. She is also a storyteller, published poet, producer, and educator extraordinaire. Lewis — who studied vocal improvisation with Bobby McFerrin, guitar technique with Alex DeGrassi and Guy van Duser, and songwriting with Rosanne Cash and Cris Williamson — has been a featured performer on NPR’s Mountain Stage program, as well as at the Kennedy Center. She has a forty-eight year old daily yoga practice, loves strong coffee, and her religion is the Grand Canyon. “For me, it’s about the songs, each different, each a well thought out message, each a labor of love,” says Bernice.
Christy Fisher is a singer, songwriter, and multi-instrumentalist based in Jerome and was recently nominated in four categories by the 2021 International Singer and Songwriters Association. She ended up winning Silver for Female Album of the Year for her album Mixed Signals in Atlanta, GA. Christy has performed with a few area musical groups throughout her 30 years in the area, including Mountain Stranded Time, Cattywampus, Christy and Frenz, The Jerome Philharmonic Convergence, and the Jerome Ukulele Orchestra. Fisher’s performances are a combination of award-winning songwriting, unusual audio engineering techniques, and powerful vocals.
Ed Cooper spent decades playing in bands around the country before settling in Sedona and becoming a solo performer. With soulful vocals and shredding guitar, Ed plays exciting arrangements of classic rock favorites from the '60s, '70s, '80s, and '90s. You can see Ed performing regularly at several venues around the Verde Valley.
