Narissa Bond

Live Music with Narissa Bond

Blessed with a warm soprano, this award-winning musician has released several albums including one, “False Gods”, scheduled for 2017. You can hear her idols in her music, from Joni Mitchell’s finely crafted songs, and from Tracy Chapman, a sharp rhythmic and melodic sense. But Narissa is her own woman. She studied classical music, and jazz guitar, and there are elements of that in her work, as well as a nod to the blues and a strong connection to contemporary folk.

“Narissa has set a new standard for the art of singing and songwriting … she is the real thing.” – DJ Barry Graham
