Songs in the round

Nashville singer-songwriter to appear in Kings Heath.

Alyssa Bonagura, a US-based singer-songwriter, will be performing at the Kitchen Garden Cafe in Kings Heath on Wednesday 25th August as part of the Nashville Sounds in the Round series.

Alyssa developed her folk-pop sound while she was living in England and studying at the Liverpool Institute of Performing Arts. She has played a solo set at Glastonbury Festival, and as a member of Pete Wylie’s band, The Mighty Wah! has opened for Ringo Starr. Alyssa also had a run of UK stadium shows, while opening for Rod Stewart as part of the duo, The Sisterhood Band.

A celebrated songwriter, producer, and multi-instrumentalist, Alyssa has spent the past decade fine-tuning a sound that reaches far beyond her Nashville roots. It’s a sound that blurs the boundaries between genres, mixing the southern storytelling of country music, the free-thinking spirit of rock & roll, and the cinematic sweep of Britpop into its own hybrid.

For Alyssa — a lifelong road warrior who spent her infancy aboard a tour bus, recorded a duet with Kenny Rogers at ten years old, received her college diploma from Sir Paul McCartney, performed stadium shows as a member of the major-label duo The Sisterhood Band, and currently balances her critically-acclaimed solo career with an ongoing gig writing songs for Jessie James Decker, Aerosmith frontman Steven Tyler, and others — it’s also a sound that’s every bit as diverse as her own story.
