Karisa Wilson

Other / Folk / Jazz / Rhythm & Blues
Grand Rapids, MI

Musical Girl

STATUS UPDATE

I'm Karisa and I love music. I perform three to four nights of the week, sometimes more, and teach violin, guitar and voice four days a week. In my spare time I write music, write about music, listen to music, go to live music shows, and play music. I also love reading, learning the stand up bass and, well...music. Hope you enjoy my mine!

If you live in the West Michigan area or are just curious about what kind of projects I'm involed in you can also check out my karisawilson.com site or the sites of two groups that I have side projects with, Craic Wisely (fabulously energetic Irish inspired Rock band, craicwisely.com, myspace.com/craicwisely), and The Rockit King (straight up hard rock 'n' roll, myspace.com/therockitking). I've also been sitting in with the nationaly recognized Brian Vander Ark, lead singer of the 90's rock band The Verve Pipe.

		You have a lovely voice Karisa:) I hope we can work together:) (Ironically I wrote a song about a Karisa but I don't know if you would like it, primarily because it is suppose to be sung about a Karisa, not by a Karisa:) Do let me know if you want to read the lyrics anyway:) Warm wishes to you and hope you enjoy a wonderful holiday season:) Sincerely, Chase:) Mon.

		Karisa performed in our hotel during the Waterfront Film Festival in Saugatuck MI. She has a great voice and guitar chops to go with it. She played a beautiful set of pop, jazz, and brazilian classics and a few original tunes that sounded right at home in the set. Great performance! Mon. Dec. 18, 2006, 8:04 AM Richard Viard
