Forget the upbringing in the foothills of the Sierra Nevadas...Larisa Bryski is no small-town girl.
The 2004 SAMMIE (Sacramento Music Awards) winner for Best Female Vocalist, Larisa debuted as a solo artist in 2000 with her album The Long Way, which was immediately met with rave reviews. Sacramento News and Review declared, "...Bryski projects the kind of matter-of-fact intensity that plants its feet on a stage, grabs a microphone and wails." In 2003 Larisa released her edgier, self-produced 2nd CD, "Violet." The Sacramento Bee stated, "...her voice is like Sunny Delight splashed with vodka." Larisa has performed extensively all the while, sharing bills with such renowned and diverse national artists as Journey, Poe, Oleander, Peter Frampton, Dishwalla, Berlin, Tommy Castro, John Waite, and King's X. She has also been honored to participate in several acclaimed music festivals, from Nadines Wild Weekend to SXSW.
Larisa and her band (Willy Seltzer, guitar; Andrew Houston, bass; Darrell Hale, drums) take pride in combining powerful, clean vocals with infectious rock melodies, and classic style arena rock vocal harmonies.
In 2005, Larisa and Willy released a third CD, a duet-style live acoustic recording called "How's Your D String."
Plans for 2008 include the release of Larisa's fourth album, so stay tuned!
.. Hi there Larisa Bryski first of all we'd like to say thanks for being our myspace pal. We wanted to make sure you knew the reason incase we suddenly vanish off of your friends list. The movement we've started for indie artists has grown significantly and consumes all of our time these days. We seldom sign into our myspace account and this is making several people believe that we are ignoring them. We are not ignoring anyone, we wanted everyone to know that. What we're doing has become so busy we just don't have the time for myspace any longer, so in all honesty we are probably going to just close our myspace account.
