"Flawless"..."radiant"-Charles Isherwood, The New York Times
"Have you ever seen a woman like me / lying awake in ecstasy" is perhaps the most telltale lyric, philosophical riddle, and experiential result of Eisa Davis, the award-winning singer, songwriter, actor and playwright who embraces all her selves and distills them into elegant, liberating sound. A pianist and effortless bandleader, Eisa returns to Joe's Pub after appearing in This at Playwrights Horizons and Passing Strange: The Movie, which held court at the Public before its decorated, unforgettable run on Broadway. Using music as content and form for her autobiographical memoir Angela's Mixtape garnered the production a nod in The New Yorker's Best of 2009--and she continues to explore the heart's terrain with her passionate, minimalist pop-rock-soul. From her electronica featured on the Showtime series Soul Food to her acoustic album Something Else, Berkeley native Eisa never fails to move audiences with her unique alloy of catharsis and restraint.
