Forged in the disciplined fires of her classical violin training, Karisa Wilson's musicianship has blossomed into a rich and beautiful flower of sound. After releasing her debut album 'Little Girl' to a sold out Wealthy Theater in August 2007, she went on to bring home the 2008 WYCE 'Best New Artist', as well as the coveted 'Album of the Year' Jammie awards.
A soulful blend of blues, latiny jazz and folk tones woven together in a uniquely Karisa fashion, and with help from her fab backing band, 'Little Girl' has a 'little' something for everyone. Although establishing herself first as a solo artist, Karisa put together a band for recording purposes as well as for her cd debut concert. She has been performing full band shows ever since and credits members Lou Musa (Lead Guitar), Mark Lundell (Bass), and Eddie Eicher (Kit) for the even more energetic, rocked out version of her tunes.
Karisa has performed and recorded with a myriad of artists including Brian VanderArk (The Verve Pipe), has performed such venues as Detroit's State Theater, Muskegon Summer Celebration, Michigan Irish Festival, FoxFest and B93 B-day Bash, Wheatland Festival, and has been a featured artist in the Meijer Garden's Tuesday Summer Concert series and several other songwriter showcases. In addition to sharing the stage with such artists as 50 Cent, Talib Kweli, Tim Reynolds, Toots and the Maytals, and Kenny Wayne Shepherd, she's also been featured in a host of local and regional publications and radio stations.
