BEAU LISY – Drums and Percussion

Beau Lisy is a multi-percussionist with a rich background in teaching and performing across the United States, from grand stages to intimate living rooms. As a 1991 graduate of Mount Desert Island High School, Beau pursued further education at Brewster Academy before relocating to Cleveland to attend Baldwin-Wallace Conservatory. His professional journey in Cleveland included collaborations with the Cleveland Opera/Ballet and Chamber groups, Up Ensemble, Dave Sterner Group, Lamar Gaines Trio, Robert Lockwood Jr., and Roots of American Music. Beau’s dedication to his craft led him to multiple visits to The Gambia, West Africa, where he immersed himself in the music and language of the Mandinka and Wolof people, with a particular focus on the djembe, sabar, and bongo instruments. In 2010, Beau returned to his hometown of Mount Desert Island with his wife and two children, continuing to share his passion for percussion.
