Artist Information
Biography
With roots in the country and folk traditions of songwriting, Alex Vissia (VISS-ee-uh) manages to keep a steady gaze on lyricism while moving beyond the constraints of a single genre. “Folk-rock I suppose you would call her... yet it seems like there is a ‘rocker chick’ inside her somewhere, maybe just a swig of whiskey away.” NewMusicMichael.com
The first thing you will notice about Alex is her voice. She can draw you in like a whisper and shake your soul, all in the same breath. She captures you with the way she weaves her words, but with the crunch of a chord, she’ll just as easily drive you back out to sea. Deliberate, sentimental, sometimes moody, and often bittersweet, Alex writes songs that are noticeably personal. You will want to sit– volume up, lights low– and really listen. But that doesn’t mean that she won’t move you. Because she will.
Since the release of her debut album (A Lot Less Gold; November 2011), Alex has been touring Western Canada steadily, having performed upwards of 100 dates in just over a year. From the lush greenery of Vancouver Island, to the wide prairie skies of Manitoba, Alex has been receiving praise for her powerhouse vocals and lyrical prowess.
Young Love is Alex's second release (May 2013), a laid-back, rootsy-rock EP of 3 original songs and 3 rearranged classics. If A Lot Less Gold is a full-bodied glass of red, then Young Love is closer to a heart-wrenching swig of whiskey.
Drink up.

“It should be great,” she said, adding she is looking forward to hearing the Wood Sprites, who she has never heard before, though she knows Spencer Jo.
Vissia just released her first solo CD “A Lot Less Gold.”
“It’s been received really, really well, though I still have some work to do on it,” she said.
“I’ll be playing the songs from the new CD again and a couple other rearranged covers,” she said.
“Eventually I’ll start writing again because I’ll have to put out another album, but for now I’m going to focus on this record,” she said.
Vissia, who teaches guitar part time when not on tour is not only planning a big tour for May, out to B.C. and back but will be including several Alberta dates on her way to and from Lethbridge.
“Then we’ll come home for a few days and hit the road again for five shows in Saskatchewan.
“I’ve got two part time jobs. I teach guitar and play around Edmonton. During the summer, school’s out and I have to plan ahead to get cash together to pay the rent. It’s kind of a different existence, but one most musicians have,” she said.

With lyrics like that, Alex Vissia attacks your heart with each pluck of her guitar. Singing rock/country songs with the clear and sultry voice that Lana Del Rey pretends to have, Vissia delivers pearls of wisdom for your foolish ears.
Coming off nearly ten years of songwriting and performing, she has wowed us with her first solo album, A Lot Less Gold. According to Vissia herself, the album, which was recorded on a very small budget in three separate “bedroom studios” in the Edmonton area of Alberta, Canada, “embodies what ‘grassroots’ is about.” -

Big Journey, Bigger Voice: Alex Vissia Takes Her Debut Disc on the Road
[+ Show ]
Alex Vissia is riding shotgun in a GMC Sierra, cruising to a show in Brandon, Manitoba. She and ...Alex Vissia is riding shotgun in a GMC Sierra, cruising to a show in Brandon, Manitoba.
She and her band mates, bassist Kurtis Cockerill and drummer Nich Davies played a show the night before in Winnipeg. They are at the tale end of the most ambitious tour she's ever embarked upon, stretching from Victoria to Winnipeg, in support of her excellent debut solo disc, A Lot Less Gold. The appropriate cliche to use in this scenario would be to say that it's a far cry from her days of singing in choirs in her home town of Stony Plain, but it really doesn't apply. You see, the Eva Cassidy-meets-Serena Ryder vocals that propel her debut, are those of a mere 22 year old.
Vissia started playing piano at the age of five. Around the time that she turned 12, she and her sisters, Andrea and Aleisha, started singing in a church choir. A choir organizer, who just happened to teach vocal classes, noticed the exceptional talents that the Vissia sisters possessed, and encouraged them to take lessons.
Around this time, Alex was turned on to country music. "I think for me growing up in a small town, more rurally, that's where the country and western influences started," she says. "That's the first kind of music I got into. The first music I wrote was definitely country."
It was that fondness for country and western that inspired her to pick up the guitar, take a few years worth of lessons and write her own songs. That lead to forming a group with her sisters (appropriately titled The Vissia Sisters, and later, the Plain Janes).
While it was her rural upbringing that cultivated her love of, and desire to learn how to make, music, it was a move to the big city that paved the way for the artist behind the nine tracks that make up her debut. About three years ago, Alex and her sisters decided to take a break from performing, and she moved to the big city, to take the Music Diploma Program at Grant MacEwan University in Edmonton.
It was a life altering experience for Alex. "That's where I met my bandmates. The album is all MacEwan graduates which is kind of cool. MacEwan was a huge step for me in opening my mind a bit more to different styles of music, like jazz." She became very good friends with Davies and Cockerill, and the three of them have been playing together for over a year now.
Although the sometimes moody tracks on 'Gold' give the album a distinct winter vibe, the three recorded the album over a couple of months this past summer at Edmonton's Hitsville USA studio. Vissia admits the tone of the record does seem to match that of an Alberta winter night. "A lot of the themes that are running through those songs aren't necessarily joyful. Writing, I think for a lot of song writers, it's therapy in a way." It's hard not to notice the intensely personal nature of songs like Blue Flowers and Ghostly Yearning, which are powered by her rich, mature vocals. "All of the songs on the people are about people I've met or had relationships with," she admits. "It's very important to do what you feel is natural. That you can come across in the most honest way you can."
Now that she's found a band, made an album, her focus shifts to making a name for herself, a challenge she's tackling head-on through her late fall jaunt across western Canada. "It's a bit stressful in that you have to do it all by yourself. I think the hardest part is the promotions side of it, getting enough promotion in areas where you might not know anybody yet, other than maybe the venue owner." Although the crowds at some of the shows have been small, Vissia knows it's a long road. "We had a few goals for this tour. The first goal was to get the album out there. The other was to meet people and get to know people in all of the different areas, so that the next time we go through, we already know a few people there." So far, it appears to be working. "We have met nice people in every place we played," she adds.
Back in the GMC (that's been dubbed "The Alberta Mobile"), driving down an unfamiliar highway, with the sounds of Old Yale and Black Dub in the background, she is energized by having the opportunity to take her songs on the road. "You're far away from home, driving, maybe after the show and I just think wow, I can't believe we're actually doing this, because you end up talking about it for a long time before you actually end up doing it. It's kind of surreal."
With that voice, and at just 22, there are no doubt many more surreal moments in her future.

The Stony Plain, Alta., native recently released her debut record, A Lot Less Gold. The album finds her moving away from the sweet, bluegrass tunes of her early years to an electric guitar-based sound that draws poetically on her favourite songwriters, including Neko Case and John K. Samson.

But, upon hearing the chorus of “Get Well Soon” and “Ursa,” I was convinced otherwise. The album continues in a positive direction. “Blue Flowers” is a more upbeat tune that draws much of its colour from the percussion. After the sombre sounds of “Don’t Tell Me Riddles,” the album loses some steam, not standing out as much in A Lot Less Gold’s second half.

She reminded me a lot of Serena Ryder with her beautifully warbling voice.
She showed some superb vocal range and played some catchy gutiar as her band kept step behind her. They took five for a spell as she donned an acoustic guitar and showed she could carry things on her own, thaough, the band definitely enhanced her music.
The audience had thinned somewhat by the time she took the stage for her second set, however the ones who remained were happy to dance.

A Little Rock & Country at Joe's

Entrenched in the roots of rock and country but with a more sophisticated lyrical lean, Vissia will have you captivated by the time she sings her first sentence. Growing up just outside of Edmonton in a town called Stony Plain, Vissia began at the piano bench.
Eight years later at the age of 13, she had learned enough chords on guitar to write her first song. Vissia and her two younger sisters then started a folk-roots band, with Vissia leading the trio on vocals and guitar.
This young trio impressed everyone they played for, and Vissia started gaining experience from this exposure. Over their years together, the trio played at such prestigious events as Canadian Country Music Week (Gospel Showcase 2004), the Edmonton Folk Festival (2008) and the Vancouver 2010 Olympics (Alberta House showcase) and was even nominated at the Canadian Folk Music Awards — twice (Youth Performers of the Year 2006 and 2007).
These experiences cultivated Vissia’s creative growth, which eventually led her to Edmonton, to broaden her understanding of music. Her reflections on life expanded as well.
Just as her guitar helped bring the expression of music and poetry together in earlier years, she was now older, perhaps a bit wiser and had a lot more to say.
In the summer of 2011, Vissia graduated from Grant MacEwan University in Edmonton with a diploma in Music Composition.
After nearly 10 years of writing songs and performing professionally, she has started a new chapter with the release of her highly anticipated first album as a solo artist, A Lot Less Gold.
Vissia's writing has come a long way from the sweet, bluegrass-tinged sounds of her roots. She draws poetic inspiration from her favourite songwriters, such as Josh Ritter, Jeff Tweedy (Wilco), John K. Samson (The Weakerthans) and Neko Case. Her vocal sound is reminiscent of the warmth of Brandi Carlile, combined with the sincerity of Serena Ryder's fearless delivery. Backed by drums, bass and now playing an electric guitar, Vissia resonates onstage with an energy that genuinely comes from within.
Released Nov. 10, A Lot Less Gold promises to be an honest first effort deserving of attention. Catch Vissia live with her trio on her Western Canadian Tour this November and December. -
Album Review: Alex Vissia Mines a Lot of Gold on Debut CD
[+ Show ]

There is a lot of Serena Ryder in her voice as well as numerous other female singers like Sheryl Crow and a touch of Sue Foley.
She starts her CD with an upbeat, jangling, country pop number “Get Well Soon.”
Her young, vibrant, and very appealing voice also has elements of jazz especially on ““Goodnight Moonlight,” in which she is reminiscent of Little Miss Higgins’ Jolene Higgins.
She picks up the tempo on the catchy “Blue Flowers,” which is reminiscent of Hannah Georgas.
Sexy, sultry sax underlies her mellower jazz influences on “Don’t Tell Me Riddles.” while maintaining the Hannah Georgas pop sensibilities.
One of theme absolute favourites is “Cement,” an upbeat catchy, alt-countryish number, which would be at home being played among any number of Lilith Fair type artists and which makes the listeners’ ears perk up immediately. Beautiful.
She ends the CD with “Wild Fig Tree,” a slower, arpeggio powered number featuring mournful Wurlitzer organ. Here’s hoping she has a lot more gold where “A Lot Less Gold” came from. -

LIVE! Alex Vissia at The Artery (Pics & Tour Dates)
[+ Show ]
Last night I had the good fortune to start the long weekend off with a bang, as I went to the releas...Last night I had the good fortune to start the long weekend off with a bang, as I went to the release party for Alex Vissia’s debut solo album at The Artery. I’d never been to the Artery before, it’s an interesting space just east of the downtown core – some chairs scattered in front, some bleachers stage right, and then an odd mezzanine level with various seating places stage left to center. The different levels give it a bit of a different feel than most venues, and give it a bit of a quirky ambience. The opening act, Laura Swankey, was actually not even on the main stage, but a side stage in front of the bleachers. Which made the changeover much quicker – I didn’t even have my camera out when Alex started up.
I love her attitude, by the way. She’s got this sweet, soulful voice, she’s an amazing songwriter … folk rock I suppose you’d call her (she didn’t even touch an acoustic in the first set), but yet it seems like there’s a ‘rocker chick’ inside her somewhere, maybe just a swig of whiskey away. I absolutely loved her music, and am definitely psyched to listen to the album in the coming days. It’s called “A Lot Less Gold”, and is – obviously – now available. Definitely check it out when you get a chance. Last night was also the start of a tour of the western provinces as well (full itinerary below), so get out and see her when she’s coming your way. You won’t be disappointed. -

“I’ll be playing as a trio with a drummer and bass player,” said Vissia, whose folk-rock stylings are often compared to Serena Ryder and Brandi Carlile.
“It’s folk music, but the bass and drums add a rock element to it,” she said.
She is looking forward to introducing people to her debut CD “ A Lot Less Gold.” and to meeting Lethbridge audiences as she has never played here before.
“It’s 15 shows in all. We’ll be going from Vancouver Island to Winnipeg. So it’s going to be pretty exciting,” she said.
“ I’m really proud of the album, so I’m looking forward to getting it out there. And it’s going to be interesting to meet other musicians out on tour,” she said.
She hadn’t intended to record a full length CD on a shoestring budget.
“I originally intended to record a five song EP, but it turned out to be a nine song album.”
She recorded it in Edmonton with some of the musicians she went to university with.
“ They just got delivered to my door. So I’m pretty excited,” she enthused.
“It goes to show you don't need to spend a tonne of money or get a famous name to make a good album. It’s just exciting and friendly,” she said.
Alex Vissia and her trio play the Owl Acoustic Lounge at approximately 9 p.m. The Magnetic North are also on the bill. There is no cover.

I wish I could talk about all of them, but unfortunately some of their music just doesn’t really fit the genres I cover. But in the meantime, one artist who is exceptionally talented, and I’m overjoyed that I get to talk about, is Alex Vissia, who will be performing next Thursday (November 10) at the Artery for a release party! The folk songstress will be singing songs from her debut full-length solo album titled “A Lot Less Gold”, after putting in years and years in a trio with her sisters (The Plain Janes, whom performed at the 2008 Edmonton Folk Music Festival, an impressive achievement in itself). She also just graduated from Grant MacEwan University’s Music Composition program here in Edmonton.
The album itself was recorded in a “farmhouse loft just outside of Edmonton and two bedroom ‘studios’” with Nich Davies (drums), Kurtis Cockerill (bass), Savic Panylyk (saxophone), and Jeff Knyoch (guitar); Alex also plays the guitar herself. Her folk-roots sound will probably remind you of Serena Ryder and Brandi Carlile; if you want a sneak preview of some her tunes, check out her website here.
Opening for Alex at the release party will be Laura Swankey.
After that, Alex and friends will be heading out on the road, hitting a number of cities across Canada’s westernmost four provinces; here’s the full itinerary.
