Elise Testone
The last 12 months have been an amazing journey for Elise Testone. She has appeared on national television and has been interviewed by Ellen DeGeneres, Jay Leno, and Anderson Cooper, not to mention being a finalist on Fox’s hit television series, “American Idol,” on its 11th season. She received heartfelt accolades from Stevie Nicks and Steven Tyler on her abilities and talent. She even got to shake hands with President Bill Clinton in the whirlwind that has been her life recently.
2013 has found Elise back in her adopted home of Charleston, SC starting the year with an incredible sold-out homecoming show at the Charleston Music Hall on Valentine’s Night. She has recently played opening slots with B.B. King as well as joined Hootie and Blowfish at their annual “Monday After the Masters” fundraiser at the House in Blues in Myrtle Beach, S.C. She spent most of the summer hard at work in the studio. She recently debuted her first single, “I Will Not Break,” which is now available on iTunes. She will be independently releasing the full album, “In This Life” in January 2014 which will include 12 of her original songs.
But with all the hype and buzz surrounding her career right now, in many ways Elise Testone is simply staying on the path that she has been pursuing with discipline and persistence since she was a child. She continues to be focused on creating beautiful music and is surrounding herself with an excellent band that she deftly leads through soulful and intricate compositions that are resonating with bigger and bigger audiences as she enters this exciting next chapter of her life.
