I can’t remember the last time I bought a CD
I went to a small coffee shop show on Friday night. I was mesmerized by this little 26 year old chick who had a voice of sugared lightning and a heart the size of a watermelon. She’s an incredible songwriter, captivating performer, and sincere messenger.
She travels the country in her car, singing for anyone who can listen… And I did. WHAT a story she shared with us in 60 minutes. It was like magic. I had no choice but to listen to her. Soak in everything she wanted to tell us.
I thought about just giving her the few bills I had in my purse, because I so desperately wanted to support her ministry and music. But, instead, I thought I could learn a few things from her songwriting abilities, so I handed her manager $10 and grabbed a CD.
Alisa Turner, ladies and gentlemen. Book her. You want to what she’s got to say.
Wow! Nuff said!
So I still heart CD’s. Yup, I will go ahead and say it…I have never bought anything off of itunes.
Okay, stop it right now…her voice was unreal.
How did you get to HEAR that? I thought your bandwidth was done…?
Glad you liked her, though.
I’m with Kristi. Unreal. SOOO good!!! BTW – what kind of keyboard was she playing? I’m in the market for a nice digital stage piano and in my rural area it’s difficult to go and sample the goods….Do you have any suggestions?
Yes.

He’ll tell ya what you need! Just let him know I sent you!
Her voice is quite incredible. She uses that Mic well.
Oh my gosh … incredible.
What I like about the video was the emotion she put into her performance. It was the kind of performance you feel as much as listen to.
Ed. You’ve hit it exactly… Imagine what it was like for me to actually hear her sing this song LIVE. It’s even more powerful and captivating. Captivating is the best word to describe her talent.
her piano playing is what caught me.
she’s a beautiful girl. all over.
still listening…
i could play her music over and over and over again.
and i am not too quickly impressed. i’m not hard to please, i’m not too critical, but i’m just not often very impressed, does that make sense?
i love all music, but it takes something special to really capture me. her intonation, creativity, lyrics, chord progressions, nods to the romantic piano/art song style, strength of vocal tone, her musicality on the keyboard, and her heart….all of that TOTALLY won me.
Yep. I hope you go download her stuff, JR. It’s good!
“a voice of sugared lightning and a heart the size of a watermelon.”

i’ve been going through some of her videos on youtube.
i’m seriously falling in love with this girl.
err….you know what i mean…
