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." Larisa has performed extensively all the while, sharing bills with such renowned and diverse national artists as Journey, Poe, Oleander, Modern English, Peter Frampton, The Tories, Eric Martin, Berlin, Tommy Castro, and King's X. She has also been honored to participate in a variety of popular Northern California music festivals, from Nadine’s Wild Weekend in San Francisco to the Sacramento Heritage Festival. Larisa and her band (Willy Seltzer, guitar; Andrew Houston, bass; Darrell Hale, drums) take pride in combining powerful, clean vocals with thoughtful lyrics, infectious rock melodies, unmatched 3-part harmonies, and high energy stage presence. Larisa's self-produced sophomore CD, "Violet," was released in late 2003, and is her band's greatest accomplishment to date.
