Anisa Hayes’ music has been described as Joni Mitchell meets Sarah McLachlan- melodic upbeat acoustic folk/pop with intimate story-telling lyrics. With a voice that can go from sultry to a breathy soprano in the same song, she relates stories with topics that range from childhood memories to overcoming grief to just plain silliness. (WARNING: MAY CAUSE NOSTALGIA)

She started in coffee houses and worked her way into clubs, festivals, and recently opening for national acts such as REO Speedwagon and Kansas. Her new cd "Finding Home" was nominated for the Grand Rapids WYCE Jammie Awards as "Best Folk Album of the Year". Anisa proudly endorses ghs strings!

You got a new toy huh... that should be alot of fun! It will help with your new music.... even though you have pure natural talent.. No help needed for that! =) It's been too long since I have been out that way. I miss the lake so much and then some! One day soon I hope to visit (very soon). Do you ever play in Grand Rapids?
