In Memory...

Jeffrey Steven Simpson
June 3, 1972 -
June 21, 2002


My dear friend had his burdens to bear, as we all do. However, those challenges never stopped his ability to love, to play and write music and to view this world with the wonderment that is seen in so few adults.  About Jeff

CLARISSA and her band perform both full electric band shows - originals and covers - and acoustic/unplugged (2 - 4 piece) shows depending on the needs of the venue. Shows vary in length between one and four hours. "Free To Be" and "CLARISSA Live!" are both recordings of the full rock band, however a taste of the acoustic style can be heard in such tracks as: "Voice Inside"; "Come See About Me" and "Before".
