CLARISSA: Female Alternative Rock

Clarissa's voice is sometimes described as a cross between Debra Harry of Blondie, Melissa Etheridge and a female version of Kevin Martin of Candlebox. When asked what drives her to continue performing, writing and recording, her response is a matter of fact, “I can’t NOT do it. Music is not a choice for me, the drive for it is unrelenting.” She is the Co-Songwriter for both albums and is currently responsible for all of the band’s bookings, it’s management and promotional efforts.

Clarissa’s live performance is frequently compared to Gwen Stefani’s of No Doubt by those in the know. CD Street	“ One of Baltimore’s and the Mid-Atlantic Region’s BEST Artists --- CLARISSA... Pretty soon, CLARISSA will be a household name from Florida to Canada and everywhere in between….Audiences can expect to get rocked like they have never been rocked before....” CD Baby	“…You must see this band live to fully appreciate their music as it evokes emotion and thought in its listeners. Clarissa sings from the heart and it’s apparent in every track on Free To Be. As a former Yellow #5 fan Free To Be is a must have CD....” Local Music Warehouse
