"[Trisha] O'Keefe wields her voice with a gutsy strength that seems to belie her age, bleeding raw emotion into her lyrics, effortlessly moving from hushed confession to a full-throated smoky bellow in the space of seconds. And when she endlessly holds a note, her voice seems a separate entity altogether, fired into the stillness to strikingly evocative effect."~ Naila Francis, SoundStage Columnist (The Intelligencer)
"Trisha O'Keefe is the kind of act that I love to see: passionate, smart and driven to make it happen."~ Jesse Lundy (Point Entertainment)
"Trisha O'Keefe...[has] got the heart of a real rock chick who sounds like she could take on both the vast urban sprawl or the lonesome country with just her guitar strapped to her back." ~ Monica Ortwein, Associate Editor (Pulse Weekly).
"Trisha O'Keefe has the voice of a modern day Ann Wilson along with superb songwriting." ~ Randy Nicklaus, Producer (INXS, Blondie, Meat Loaf, Aretha Franklin, Clint Black).
Trisha O'Keefe has been working hard, and soaring to new heights in the music industry. In just a few short years, Trisha has received countless exposure in the mediums of press, radio, and television. She is a driven, poised, and passionate entrepeneur who is a promising front-runner in the world of DIY artists.
O'Keefe has worked hard to make a name for herself in the music industry. She has been a songwriter for 11 years, recording demos from the tender age of 12. She chose not to accept Songwriting and Vocal Scholarships from the prestigious Berklee College of Music at 17, and instead independently released her first CD "All The Honest Liars". O'Keefe was soon writing source music for the ABC Daytime Drama "All My Children", a show that airs for an international audience of millions, by 18. She became a regionally-touring artist by 19, and was a guest vocalist on her first national commercial, the Coke Zero capaign "ChillTop" with artist G Love, at the age of 20. At 21, she made her national television debut, performing on the talk show Soap Talk, and fielding an interview from hosts Lisa Rinna and Ty Treadway.
At 22, Trisha released her fourth CD, titled "Star Burns Brightest", on May 1st, 2007. So what is the significance of the title, Star Burns Brightest? "I spent so much of my life and my career trying to do right by so many people, trying to please everyone around me, trying to be adequate in others' eyes. This album was a journey for me in letting go of that, and living a life that makes me fulfilled. It's about me veing the best version of me, burning the brightest I can."

Hello Mysterious One..... May I offer you a token of my appreciation by wishing you a wonderful Monday? You are beautiful and gracious, Bobby....................
Hey Trisha, The world just got a little smaller. I just got back in touch with one of my high school friends, Charlie Degenhart. Both he and I really got more into music after high school and weren't so much musicians, then. Well, he is much much better than I and has an amazing voice. He just happened to move to Nashville in 2000! I told him to look you up and he said that you sound very familiar and he thinks you're already friends on here! Just amazing how small this world is! If you get the chance check out his music!
Hi Trisha! Great tunes! It's really cool being your newest fan! But, I know that won't last long! Thanks for the add... looking forward to hearing more. Jkt
