Welcome

Meet Song of the Lakes. A band that’s not afraid to show its emotions, as they belt out sea shanties, seduce you with a sultry Brazilian melody, or break your heart with a bittersweet ballad.

The band made itself a name with sea shanties and Irish melodies in the early 1980s, but its range has widened enormously in the 25-year span the band has been together. They’ve delved into acoustic rock, Latin, jazz, and what they call Great Lakes World Music.

No matter what you decide to call the band’s music, you’ll love the revival quality that runs through all the songs. Their music is uplifting and transcending. It will take you to a different place, and you're probably going to want to stay there. The band members—Lisa, Rick, Mike and Ingemar—live the good life and sing the praises of the gorgeous Great Lakes. When they say, “25 Years of Joy,” they mean it from the depths of their deep blue hearts.

The band has five recordings to its credit, all with a mix of original and traditional songs.
