Carissa Amberly
With an electric performance energy and a vocal purity unlike
any other, Carissa Amberly of Longview Texas is breaking onto
the music scene trailing a growing number of fans. Her rich
vocals combined with sincere country and gospel music written by
some of today's top songwriters have produced her first solo
album, Letters (2006).
This past year, Carissa has been both in the recording studio
and on the stage. After winning first place in the Texas Country
Music Hall of Fame talent showcase in August 2006, Carissa was
immediately given the opportunity to sing in a music show that
would later welcome the Gatlin Brothers, Billy Joe Shaver, Jack
Greene, and Casey Rivers to the same stage. As a part of her
prize package, Carissa was awarded a trip to Branson, MO to
guest perform on the shows hosted by Mickey Gilley, Hamner
Barber, Jim Owen, Jim Stafford, and Doug Gabriel.
Now that the whirlwind affects of the contest have slowed down,
Carissa has been performing in and around East Texas for
audiences large and small- including The Great American Trucking
Show with Truckers Complete in August 2006, a fundraiser
performance with Louie Gohmert in October 2006, and even
President George W. Bush and 10,000 others at the Presidential
Rally on October 30, 2006 in Sugarland Texas.
Whether she's singing in front of fans or strangers, Carissa's
energetic performance captures audiences with sincerity in song
and style. Word of her outstanding talent is spreading far and
fast. Carissa will be making a trip to Nashville, TN to sing on
Jeannie Seely's music show as well as the Ernest Tubb's Midnight
Jamboree.
Carissa's background in music is one grounded in honest country
style and nurtured by gospel truth. She started performing in
local opry's as a young girl, and has since grown into a
beautiful young lady with a mature style and a sound uniquely
her own.
Her growing popularity among true veterans of country music is
taking her into wider horizons in the country music industry,
and with an increasing number of fans of Letters (2006)
few can argue with her aspirations for the top of the charts.
