Born in Canada, raised in Georgia and Ohio, Elisa Nicolas had the sound of Pop and Classical music in her ears from the time she was an infant. "My parents had everything from Lynn Anderson's 'Rose Garden' to the Beatles 'Sergeant Pepper.' I listened to all their great vocalist records like Ella Fitgerald and Nat King Cole." Elisa's breathy alto brings to mind modern singers like Fiona Apple and Diana Krall.
Richard Byrne of the St Louis Riverfront Times writes, "Elisa Nicolas writes and sings some of the classiest and breeziest music we have yet to hear... Nicolas sings her lush melodies with a subtle strength and [her songs] hypnotize as they wind as tight as a boa constrictor, to finish off the metaphor, they'll leave your breathless."
Elisa new album "Compass and a Pen" is available now at iTunes and CDBaby.
The Columbus Dispatch says Compass and a Pen is "a gorgeous album of low key - but definitely not low-wattage, jazz, blues and pop."
