Folk singer tours for Guinness record
ST. PAUL, Minnesota (AP) -- Lis Harvey can rest her voice now. The folk singer reached her goal of performing in all 50 states in 60 days with a performance Sunday at Ginkgo Coffeehouse in St. Paul. Harvey is trying to enter the Guinness Book of Records for the fastest 50-state tour by a solo female musician. She toured America in a borrowed station wagon, putting 17,000 miles on the car in two months. Harvey said she often would read the Guinness Book of Records as a fourth grader, and that she knew she would have to tour to promote her new CD, "Topography," on independent Erlendahle Records. "So I joke that I knew I couldn't beat the man with the longest fingernails, so I have to make up my own record," she said Monday. She said she'd receive a certificate if her record is verified. The Madison, Wisconsin-based singer-songwriter, who was born in Boston, celebrated her 25th birthday on the 25th state of her tour. She said making the record book would "satisfy that little kid inside." "If you peel back all the layers to my 11-year-old self, I think she would be beaming," Harvey said.
