The best holiday music gift ideas are the ones that put real music into someone’s hands and support the artist who made it: a CD, an artist T-shirt or tumbler, a night at a live show, or a membership that keeps the songs coming all year. For the Americana and folk-rock fan on your list, Prescott singer-songwriter Lisa Mitts offers all of these, and most of her CDs and merch cost $20. And if you want the gift people talk about for years, you can bring the concert to your living room.
Streaming made music easy to play and hard to wrap. Below, Lisa Mitts Music lays out gift ideas at every budget, from a stocking-stuffer CD to a private performance, so you can give a music lover something they can hold, wear or experience this season.
Give an Album They Can Unwrap
A physical album is still the simplest music gift, and it tells the listener you picked it for them. Lisa’s two newest award-winning records make an easy pair for anyone who loves story-driven songs.
- Choose Sing Baby Sing (2025) for the fan of roots-rock and Americana, including the single “Humble Road.”
- Pick Broken Crayons (2024) for someone who leans toward heartfelt alternative songwriting.
- Add a note with a favorite lyric or a link to her Spotify page so they can keep listening on the go.
Both albums are seven tracks and sell as $20 CDs in the Lisa Mitts Music shop. They carry real credentials: according to Lisa’s own announcement, Sing Baby Sing won Best Americana Album and “Humble Road” won Best Americana Single at the 2026 World Entertainment Awards in Los Angeles, and “Broken Crayons” won Best Alternative Song. Fans who prefer digital can follow her on Spotify, and her two September 2026 singles on Rexius Records, “Carry Me Back To You” and “Let It Heal,” are out now.
Wrap Up Artist Merch for Under $25
Merch is the gift that keeps a favorite artist in someone’s daily routine. Most of Lisa’s merch sells at the same $20 price, which makes budgeting for a gift exchange easy.
- Grab a tumbler or drinkware cup for the coworker who never leaves home without coffee.
- Choose a T-shirt such as “Heart Song,” “The Breakthrough,” “Outside the Box” or “Where Did It Go” for the fan who already owns the albums.
- Tuck in the white beanie for a Northern Arizona winter.
Most merch in the online shop is $20, and buying direct from an independent artist means more of your money reaches the person who wrote the songs. The shop also carries a ballcap bearing the name of Destiny House Restoration Center, the Prescott-area nonprofit Lisa co-founded with her husband, David, to serve women who have survived sex trafficking.
Gift a Year of Music With a Patron Membership
For the superfan, a patron membership turns one gift into twelve months of connection. Each level adds perks, and every level is available annually or monthly.
- Start with Silver ($190 a year or $18 a month), which includes a free CD or T-shirt and patron Zoom calls.
- Step up to Gold ($275 or $25 a month) for studio-session access and a hoodie.
- Consider Diamond, Platinum or Angel for reserved seating, backstage photos and patron dinners with Lisa and David.
The full list of tiers and benefits is on the Become a Patron page. If you want the membership in someone else’s name, contact Lisa’s team before checkout so the perks reach the right person. Gold members pick up their hoodie at Lisa’s annual Evening of Destiny benefit concert.
Give an Experience: See Lisa Live in Prescott
A night out often means more than another thing on a shelf. Pair your gift with a date on the calendar and you’ve planned the evening too.
- Mark Saturday, November 14, 2026, when Lisa performs at Back Alley Wine Bar in downtown Prescott.
- Check the venue’s listing for the start time before you make dinner plans.
- Bundle the outing with a CD so the music goes home with them.
Back Alley Wine Bar is at 156 S. Montezuma St. in Prescott, and its live music schedule has the latest details. Lisa’s upcoming dates are also posted on her website, and she has played intimate rooms such as WIT Cellars as well as large benefit stages.
Go Big With a Private In-Home Concert
The most memorable music gift is a performance made just for the people you love. Lisa’s patron program lets supporters host a private concert at home.
- Choose the format that fits your space: solo, trio, quartet or full band.
- Plan around a holiday party, anniversary or family reunion.
- Reach out early in the season to check availability.
Lisa’s patron page says patrons at any level can host a private in-home concert. Pricing and scheduling details are handled directly, so use the contact form to ask about your date. For a step-by-step look at how it works, read the companion guide on hosting a private in-home concert.

When you buy holiday gifts from a hometown artist, the money stays close to home and the gift carries a story. Visit the Lisa Mitts Music shop for CDs and merch, explore patron memberships, or get in touch about booking a performance.
