FEATURE ARTIST
This week we featured the lovely Alex Vissia. One third of the folk-roots trio, The Plain Janes, Alex has been writing and composing songs since the group's conception in 2000. She first learned to play the piano at the age of five, but growing up on country, western and folk music, gravitation toward the acoustic guitar ensued. Weaving pensive lyrics with thoughtful melodies, Alex delivers her songs with soulful and sincere vocals. She loves to sing. She loves to play her guitar. She loves to drink tea and get lost in used bookstores. But most of all, Alex loves to write. We featured her new song Goodnight Moonlight. Check out Alex's myspace for her & the Plain Janes upcoming shows!
