ABOUT CARISSA
Born in Mooresville, Indiana, Carissa became immersed in country music when she moved to Sulphur Springs, Texas at the age of seven. While growing up surrounded by southern gospel and bluegrass melodies, she sang constantly, whether it was in church or to the cows behind her house. At the age of fifteen, Carissa began writing songs, but it would be five more years before she began playing them for others. In March 2022, she released her first album, The Scratches: Part 1, a collection of original songs, most of which were recorded in one take. She currently plays at weddings and opens for local acts. Her next album, Carissa's Country, will be released over the course of ten months, concluding with her first full band recording!
