Alysha Brilla

When you hear the sonic bath of an Alysha Brilla song, you are immediately tuned in to something special.  And if that is during a live performance, you are spellbound.  She writes such incredible melodies combined with lyrics that inspire and emote, and then set to instruments that open us up to all that is possible, and delivered with a gorgeous vocal.

I was honored to be able to invite Alysha on the show and to have her agree to join us to share her journey and her music.  We were able to have her perform at Musikfest this past summer and what a treat for the Lehigh Valley to experience that.
