Jessa Anderson Introduces New CD:

Sometimes our weakest moments or the thing we most fear can teach us the greatest lessons. That’s a big theme on this CD.

Jessa Anderson is not herself anymore, and that’s a good thing.

The Nashville-based singer/songwriter, who grew up in metro Detroit,  introduced her second CD, Not Myself Anymore, at a concert on Friday, March 19, at 7 p.m. at Woodside Bible Church in Troy.

2010 is shaping up to be the most exciting year yet for the 24-year-old singer/songwriter. During the next six months, Anderson and husband/co-musician Jordan are releasing her CD, touring, performing at the Alive10 Festival, and having a baby.

Anderson’s honest and intensely personal writing style continues on her sophomore release with 10 new songs. Her unique Christian-themed music combines meaningful pop with a rock/jazz influence.

For Not Myself Anymore, Anderson drew inspiration from two years of life on the road. From energetic youth groups to established congregations to those living in extreme poverty, Anderson has shared her music with people from all walks of life and learned a lot in the process.

“This CD represents a lot of growth in my life, both musically and personally,” says Anderson. “I’m maturing artistically and sharing my life experiences through music.

“I chose Not Myself Anymore as the title track because it’s a great song, but also because I love the idea that God uses our experiences to change us for the better. Sometimes our weakest moments or the thing we most fear can teach us the greatest lessons. That’s a big theme on this CD.”

Anderson released her debut album, Fundamentally Broken, in 2008. Since then, she and Jordan have toured throughout the U.S., Canada, Ecuador, Romania, Germany, and Portugal.

Last year Anderson was chosen as the winner of the ALIVE09 New Artist Talent Search, resulting in a spot in the ALIVE10 lineup. Anderson will perform at Alive10 on Saturday, June 26, at Atwood Lake Park, Mineral City, OH.
