Elise Davis began writing and singing songs at age 12 in Little Rock, AR. Her high school band entered the annual Arkansas Showcase in 2006 and was selected as a semi-finalist in the competition for the best new bands in Arkansas. "Elise Davis was the star attraction .... (her) acoustic guitar songs especially made an impression on the judges". ARKANSAS TIMES 2/16/06
In 2006, Elise joined with a group of local musicians (Scott Sides, Mike Mosley, and Mike Hollis) to produce her debut EP "Love and Leaving", and in 2007 she recorded her second CD, "Just Like Sugar", seven songs recorded at Blue Chair Studios in Austin, AR. In 2008, Elise recorded a new LP "Another Lonesome Romance" with Brandon Alanis, Jordan Trotter, and Darian Stribling.
"Judged only by her rich voice and breezy, open-road arrangements ...... Davis sounds mature well beyond her years. And judged even by her resume — two albums already under her belt and a third, “Another Lonesome Romance,” — she's farther down the road to Sheryl Crow-dom than virtually all her 19-year-old peers." ARKANSAS TIMES 7/31/08
In 2009 Elise performed with her band at Little Rock's annual Riverfest Music Festival, alongside many well-known national acts. Elise is currently playing in venues around Little Rock and Fayetteville while completing a degree in English at the University of Arkansas. She has also begun playing with new bandmates Jordan Trotter, Trevor Ware, and Joshua Tate. They are in the process of writing and recording her fourth album which is expected to be released in early 2010. Keep checking this site for more updates and free music downloads.
