Top New Artist charts

I am excited to report that ELISE TESTONE ~ IN THIS LIFE  has made it on the Top New Artist charts landing at # 128.  Not bad for being totally Independent!! I would also like to announce new merchandise will be available online in the next week or two.  Stay tuned for more info! 

The band and I just got back from playing with two of our favorite local bands- Dangermuffin and Sol Driven Train - in Atlanta and Athens, Georgia.  We had some fun, played our butts off and met some sweet fans!  Hope to share the bill with these two bands again very soon! 

Finally, I was SO fortunate last week to be able to kick it with Erykah Badu for a few nights.  Ms Badu has been a number one inspiration to me since I was in the 6th grade and my love for her music and ideas only grows stronger!  Baduizm was one of the first CD's I had ever gotten.  Her melodies, unique sound, harmonies and ideas are only part of why I love her!!  I see our paths crossing again in the near future! If you don't know her- check her out now!

Overwhelmingly ecstatic!

A HUGE thank you to all of my fans and my team for helping yesterday be so successful! I cannot believe I FINALLY get to say that my album has been released AND it made it all the way to the #11 spot on the iTunes Singer/Songwriter album charts in just ONE DAY! If you haven't checked it out yet, please give it a listen. You won't be disappointed...

In other equally exciting news, the album release shows are TOMORROW! That's right... I said shows.. plural! One's at the Charleston Music Hall in downtown Charleston; the other is immediately after at The Charleston Pour House on James Island. Join me and the rest of the crew for the Official After Party at The Pour House following the shows. Can't wait!

Happy New Year!

I don't know about you but 2014 has hit me with a rush of determination and motivation.  I am SO excited to share my music with you that I have spending many many hours dedicated to the planning of the show on February 13th.  There will be a choir, strings, new songs, new merch, and so much more!  

In the next weeks my team will be taking some Pre-orders for the Album!  For everyone that Pre-Orders an Album I will send you a miniature Dream Catcher that you can hang in your car, or anywhere you'd like! If you can visualize your dreams, they will come true. 

Stay warm through this cold ass Winter week!! 

Much Love,

Elise
