Tonight: Songstress Elizaveta Set to Serenade Jammin Java

Posted by Matt Basheda / Friday, January 27th, 2012

Winter always encourages mellow, ambient music.  Something about quiet snow and days spent indoors asks for something smoother.

You’ll get plenty of piano-based, female singer-songwriter stylings tonight at Jammin Java.

First up is Tiffany Thompson, an Alexandria native with a big voice and matching aspirations.  She belts out heartfelt melodies over layered, slightly melancholy tunes.

The main act is Elizaveta. Born in New York, raised in Russia, Elizaveta is an opera singer-turned-pop songstress.  She’s classically trained; her fingers deftly manipulate her piano keys and she puts her incredible voice to good use.  Her stage outfit is certainly eye-catching — simultaneously refined and outrageous.  This is her new single “Meant:”

Both artists have new albums to feature in their set lists, which will make for a unique show.  Local music is always worth support, and the next big thing could be right around the corner.  If you’re looking for a beautiful, buzzworthy concert, give this a go.  Plus it’s early, so there’s really no excuse.

Show starts at 7 p.m.  Tickets are here.  Directions are here.
