Alyssa Jacey, the award-winning singer/songwriter, is a force to be reckoned with in the music industry. Best-selling author James Noles describes her stage performances as “utterly endearing,” while world-renowned manager Doc McGhee, who has managed KISS for nearly 30 years, praises her ability to make immediate, authentic connections with her audience. Alyssa discovered her singing talent and knack for songwriting just shy of her 24th birthday. Unlike many artists who stick to one genre, Alyssa has embraced a wide range of musical styles, including pop, country, R&B, blues, soul, reggae, folk, Americana, and even rap since 2017. This diversity is evident in her discography and her latest album, “Showing Up,” which features songs already playing on local and nationwide radio stations. Her versatility and talent have earned her the nickname “The Female Ed Sheeran,” as she raps in her pop songs while playing multiple instruments simultaneously.
Alyssa has had the privilege of opening for notable artists such as Bruno Mars, Andy Grammer, Maren Morris, Lisa Loeb, and Shawn Colvin, among others. She has toured the world as a one-woman band, captivating audiences with her unique sound and engaging performances. Before her music career took off, Alyssa shared the stage with some of the biggest names in the industry as a professional dancer during the Super Bowl 37 Halftime Show, performing alongside Beyoncé, Celine Dion, Carlos Santana, Michelle Branch, the Dixie Chicks, Shania Twain, Sting, Bon Jovi, and No Doubt.
Known for her strong work ethic as a DIY indie artist, Alyssa is also celebrated for her enthusiastic and comedic personality. Her commitment to giving back is a significant part of her identity. Alyssa uses her platform to support Alzheimer’s research, inspired by her late grandmother, Eleanor, who passed away from the disease shortly after Alyssa began her singing career. To honor her grandmother’s memory, Alyssa encourages her fans, known as “The Blue Crew,” to wear blue to her shows. For every person dressed in blue, $1 from their ticket is donated to the Alzheimer’s Association. This initiative not only connects fans but also makes a difference in the fight against Alzheimer’s.
June 2024 has brought exciting news for Alyssa and her fans. Last month, she announced that she has been selected by Dolly Parton’s Dollywood to headline the 1,000 Pines Theatre as a full-time, original-music resident artist. This incredible opportunity marks a significant milestone in her career. Additionally, Alyssa is celebrating her 7th year as a Martin artist. Martin Guitar created a custom, one-of-a-kind D35 for her in 2017, and they are now teaming up with John Mayer to create Part II.
On July 2, 2024, Alyssa releases her most popular single to date, “Top Shelf.” This empowering song is about recognizing one’s worth after making numerous poor choices in life, particularly in dating. The lyrics convey a powerful message of self-respect and the decision to no longer settle for anything less than the best. Alyssa Jacey’s journey is a testament to her talent, resilience, and dedication to her craft and her cause. Her ability to connect with her audience and her unwavering commitment to staying true to herself make her a standout artist in today’s music scene.
