Charissa Hoffman

: "A 6^th-generation musician raised in Nashville, TN, Charissa’s path to music seemed inevitable, but her choice of instrument- the ukulele- came out of nowhere. A celebrated instrumentalist and songwriter, she’s performed everywhere from Freshgrass Festival (through Berklee’s American Roots Music Program) to the Bluebird Cafe.Musically, Charissa has been influenced by artists ranging from Amanda Palmer to Joni Mitchell to Béla Fleck; she draws on singer-songwriter roots and jazz training in her music, creating dreamy, ethereal worlds for her listeners.”
