About
“Chelsea Sisson’s voice is both sultry and edgy, like an indie rocker singing the blues. Her songs speak of love and longing - replete with dark metaphors and irony, but always with a glimmer of optimism. Chelsea draws from classic jazz, rock, and pop to brew her own special musical potion that is sure to intoxicate you.”
Chelsea Sisson is a local DC vocalist & musician. Her unique style of music is inspired by modern indie rock, classic blues & jazz, and the psychedelic rock from the 60s. Her influences include The Beatles, The Black Keys, The Arctic Monkeys, Amy Winehouse, Elle King, and Gin Wigmore.
Chelsea is from the small town of Forest, VA. She learned piano and guitar at an early age, and has known since she was young that singing and songwriting were her passions.
Throughout high school and college, she performed at local coffee shops and open mics. She also recorded her first demo of original songs when she was in high school.
She has performed at established local DC area venues such as: Iota Club and Cafe, Ireland Four Courts, Black Squirrel, Tortoise and Hare, The Velvet Lounge, & The TreeHouse Lounge.
