BIO
Tisra Dewitt writes the kinds of songs that fit what happened to you when... You don't know if they're new or a classic you can't place. The songs stick and the voice drips with soul - with something like velvet and sweetness. Tisra has a voice you wish you could keep close because you might need it later. She weaves rich harmonies over acoustic guitar. A California native, Tisra came to NYC ten years ago to attend NYU. After dabbling in theater, she stumbled into songwriting and a residence in Hell's Kitchens'"BAR9". Some typical stories ensued... There was the contract with the up and coming indie label, the tumultuous relationships, and of course the NYC apartment hunting challenges, but from it all developed her not-so-typical style... A wry, witty soliloquy that, when put to music, completes any New Yorker's daily soundtrack.

SISYPHUS STONE!
The EP is in my possession. Packages are being labeled. Posting should be done this week. I hope everyone will have their copy in hand within the next couple of weeks!!
- Photo Shoot
Ever wonder who these amazingly talented guys are that play in my band? Pretty soon you’ll be able to see them! We have a photo shoot scheduled with the extremely talented Shervin Lainez in a couple weeks. I couldn’t be happier to properly promote the wonderful Matt Vorzimer and David Rosenthal and show you all their gorgeous faces!
- Sisyphus Stone
My EP—Sisyphus Stone— Should be arriving this week. Im very excited to get the final product out to everyone who supported me in it’s production!
- EP--Sisyphus Stone
It’s done!! The EP, aptly named Sisyphus Stone, was recorded over 4 days last week. Along with Matt Vorzimer (drums) and Dave Rosenthal (guitar), I had the treat of Johnny Stein’s bass skills, both electric and upright! It was such a great experience from start to finish. I can’t wait to book more shows! The pressed albums should be in hand in a couple weeks! Stay tuned….
- KICKSTARTER
So, I am about a week into Kickstarter and we have raised about 1/3 of our goal of $3000 to record our EP. We have two more weeks to go and start recording on the 25th of July!! I am taking requests and suggestions for what songs should be included, so feel free to post your favorite on Facebook!
follow the link HERE to donate, and pass it on to your music loving friends and family!
- Big House Publishing
So, I have a meeting with A&R at a publishing company next week… they are interested in “Inner Lover” for music placement…It would be pretty cool to hear that in a sitcom or a commercial!
- Pianos Show 4.29.12
Last night’s show at Pianos was wonderful fun. Here’s a bit of me covering Fiona Apple’s Shadowboxer
- Next Thursday...
I was also invited to participate in an all acoustic show that moves around to different non-traditional spaces around the city (on rooftops, in gardens, on piers, in art galleries, at the lomography store, in living rooms, etc.) and this month, we will be at the Hudson Park Public Library on April 19th 6-8pm!
- NEW SHOWS
I’ll be playing Pianos again on Sunday, April 29th at 7pm. I’m opening for a very interesting lineup. Check-check-check it out….
Madison Cano:
Madison Cano’s band played Fontana’s last week and sold out Pianos’ downstairs in February

Utopians:

Utopians make their NYC debut, acoustic, on tour from Argentina. Barbi from Utopians shared the stage with Joan Jett and the Foo Fighters this past week in Buenos Aires. - Cattle Call
Its the Javitz center….actually, it’s the West Side Highway behind the Javitz center where I’ve surprised myself by actually showing up for an open call audition. I knew it would be awful, being that I abhor crowds of young theater kids, loud and overly made-up, but on the insistence of my dear friend Meaghan (www.meaghanfarrellmusic.com) I sucked it up. It was truly a last minute decision. I found out about it only yesterday, a slightly scolding Meaghan asking “are you going to the audition?!” I got home, registered, and then did my usual pre-audition panic when I couldn’t decide upon vocal selections. Mom and the BF helped me narrow it down.
I finally turned the corner into sunshine…literally, the line has moved around the block. It’s a gorgeous day and I’m happy to soak up the rays. It’s going to be a long wait…wish me luck! - New Guitar
I have inherited a new-old guitar. My grandpa’s 1933 L-7 Gibson…I’ll be trying it out at my next show!
- CMJ
So the submission is in and now it’s a waiting game….Im filed under “interested”…. Lets make something happen this year kids! wooooohoooooo
