Alex Vissia is looking forward to bringing her band back to the Owl Acoustic Lounge, March 16 to play the Prairie Folk Festival with Spencer Jo and the Wood Sprites.
“It should be great,” she said, adding she is looking forward to hearing the Wood Sprites, who she has never heard before, though she knows Spencer Jo.
Vissia just released her first solo CD “A Lot Less Gold.”
“It’s been received really, really well, though I still have some work to do on it,” she said.
“ I’ll be playing the songs from the new CD again and a couple other rearranged covers,” she said.
“ Eventually I’ll start writing again because I’ll have to put out another album, but for now I’m going to focus on this record,” she said.
Vissia, who teaches guitar part time when not on tour is not only planning a big tour for May, out to B.C. and back but will be including several Alberta dates on her way to and from Lethbridge.
“Then we’ll come home for a few days and hit the road again for five shows in Saskatchewan.
“I’ve got two part time jobs. I teach guitar and play around Edmonton. During the summer, school’s out and I have to plan ahead to get cash together to pay the rent. It’s kind of a different existence, but one most musicians have,” she said.
