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

“….Then came CLARISSA and they ROCKED!…..”

“…The lyrics are raw, kind of edgy, and so is her voice…. Very interesting record, Free To Be is. If you like women who rock, and Clarissa does, thought provoking lyrics, and pounding rhythms, you should check out CLARISSA…”

“…She's got a great set of pipes…”

“…Now look for CLARISSA, named after the phenomenal lead singer, vocalist Clarissa Campbell… she has a wonderful voice!”

“...CLARISSA has a bunch of cool things happening for her, like an East Coast tour. She recently gigged in Florida and everyone loved her. Look for more and more out-of-town dates, and a lot of cool stuff from this multi-talented woman...”

“On Free To Be, singer/songwriter Clarissa displays a number of styles and influences. That makes for an interesting listen, as she moves from flavor to flavor without effort… the singer seems quite at home mixing it up with the louder stuff. Whether it’s the balladry of “Crimes” or the sonic sting of the aforementioned “Fall From Grace”, on Free To Be, Clarissa seems to be at home in any musical setting.”

“Clarissa is busy working on her next CD.... She’s a very smart lady, with a very good voice. And, she was born to do music, which is what she does. Thank God, if she didn’t what a waste it would be.”

INDIE ARTIST RADIO
“...Uniquely alternative rock from a female artist who sings of life, love and the human experience with an edge.”

This four-piece alternative rock band from Baltimore, MD is led by the dynamic vocals of Clarissa Campbell….Touring with their debut CD, Free To Be , their summer showcasing begins in Central and South Florida in June, then back home to Baltimore, Philadelphia and The Shenandoah Valley of VA. There will be many stops throughout the summer up and down the East Coast and the dates are still coming in. They don't know what's coming. What's coming is 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....”

LOCAL MUSIC WAREHOUSE
“…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....”
