Oct #ArtistFave15 is Girl Overboard, the late 80s/early 90s pop/rock/quasi-jazz band with core members, the late vocalist Lisa Schouw, guitarist Robin Gist, & percussionist Brett McNaughton. Formed out of 80s band Separate Tables, they parted ways after two albums & some wonderfully great music.

4. Your Love - Girl Overboard (1992)

The first single from their second album charted at #70 with a rockier edge, was incredible live but didnt keep the interest of their alterna-folk-pop & ballad fans.

5. The Love We Make - Girl Overboard (1990)
The band’s second single as Girl Overboard and biggest charting hit single #23 in 1990, a fun, rollicking, contagious track which is great live as linked.

6. In the Evening - Girl Overboard (1990)

Sounding like a traditional Gaelic ditty, the very modern lyrics about isolation and searching for meaning create a sublime ballad with Lisa’s incredible vocals.
