Blue Heron House Concerts is proud to announce that Melissa Crispo will be performing in our living room on January 25, 2020!
Singer-songwriter, Melissa Crispo knew from the age of five that she wanted to be a musician. She was already singing into her hairbrush after all. "My cousins would ask me to play dolls and what not but all I could concentrate on were the drums in my uncle's garage," she said. "It went from drums to guitar to piano. Every instrument out there would turn my head as a kid. I couldn't NOT do it. I had to pick up every instrument I would see. That love for playing music never went away.”
S.S.A’s 2017 Songwriter of the year, Crispo has opened for acts such as Styx, Sophie B. Hawkins & Jefferson Starship. Her fan base grew significantly after performing on the last 3 Melissa Etheridge Cruises. From there, things began to change for the New York red neck tomboy who now resides in Orlando.
From the very first recording to the present date in order, Crispo’s music is like reading her diary; a diary that many listeners tend to relate with. Her latest album, The 5th Stage released in early 2019, invites us into the next season of her life where there is less heartbreak and more love. But no worries though, you will still hear the same feisty Melissa Crispo shining through on a couple of tracks.
Her debut album A Break in the Clouds, her EP Tomboy and her new album, The 5th Stage are available on digital download and her website
Logistics: Doors open 6:30 for potluck social hour in true House Concert tradition and Melissa hits the stage at 7:30 PM. There will be two 45 minute sets with an intermission.
Review: Melissa Crispo up close and personal is a MUST SEE! I loved listening to her stories behind her songs-made me laugh, made my heart break a little and made me feel empowered all in one intimate setting. She has an amazing voice and a unique voice that sounds even better live! -Ces Belmonte (Ventura, CA)
