Labeled by San Diego Troubadour as one of SD's "top local Americana artists," Carissa Schroeder is an award-winning songwriter and versatile Americana, blues, soul and rock singer. She has a way of taking you with her voice to the distant past -- somewhere down a dusty road in hot summertime shade. She takes modern songs and weaves a southern, soulful vibe through them, and does the classics with a love and respect for their roots. An old soul with a big voice, simply pairing Carissa with an acoustic guitar player will fill a room with a warm, rich sound, and soulful, good vibes. Influenced by The Allman Brothers Band, Bonnie Raitt, Ray Charles, Tedeschi Trucks Band, Grace Potter and Patty Griffin, Schroeder has curated a song list that is unique and listenable. She is also one half of the songwriting team for the band Rosa's Cantina, a fellow Gig Town indie country band. Check them out at www.rosascantinatheband.com
