While you snowboard I'll make snow angels...

I love Christmas time! :) It makes me feel so happy and thankful as well as very overwhelmed and stressed, but more so happy & thankful. This year I think I may try skiing or snowboarding or maybe I'll just bring a sled and use that while my friends show off their crazy winter sport skills. I'll just nonchalantly carry my sled on the ski lift like it's no big deal, maybe i'll just pretend the sleds a snowboard and I'll stand up on that... on flat ground of course, that seems ALOT safer than a hill. :) Or while there jumping ramps and all that pro snowboarding stuff that they do maybe i'll just spend my time making snow angels or building a snow man or charging people for a sled ride with my handy sled I brought, wow I have so many different options. I'm making myself laugh out loud at how dumb I sound right now and just the thought of doing any of this, which by the way I will not do cause how embarrasing? I think i'll just take the chance and snowboard. ha ANWYAYS Im glad I carried that on this far. hmm I'm enjoying life to the very fullest right now I'm getting things in order for my next upcoming shows Dec 11th @ Younger's-Romeo MI 8pm $10 Christmas Show & Dec 17th @ Hard Rock Cafe'- Detroit MI 8pm benefiting Variety Childrens Charity $5. (hint, hint you should come to both of them!) Also I've began shooting for my first MUSIC VIDEO for my song 'World Turns Dark' & I'm also making a behind the scenes video of the process, I'm super stoked & having so much fun. I'm working with great people that I'm proud to have in my camp. Life just feels really good right now, I feel more determined and focused now than even before. Some things are brewing so we'll see how it all pans out, I'm thinking positive thoughts :) I could ramble all night long but I won't put you or myself through that. :) ha Check out these photos from my recent show @ Art & Jakes- Washington MI.

Art & Jakes- Acoustic Show &&& More

First off THIS FRIDAY Nov 13th @ 9pm come check out my chilled out Acoustic Show at Art & Jakes Sports Bar and Grill in Washington MI. It’s an all ages show & no cover charge. Michael King will be playing guitar.


I’ve been busy with rehearsals, I’m working with my producer Michael Kings band on his project. He’s asked me to help out with some of his shows back up singing & singing my own material. It’s extremely cool & definitely a lot different than what I’m used to, but I love learning new things. We’re now rehearsing for a show at Birmingham First United Methodist Church on Nov 21st, it’s a benefit concert for Samaritan Counseling Center. There are some incredible musicians on this gig, if you’re around I hope to see you there. Visit my website http://www.alyssasimmons.com for more upcoming shows.


I’m in the process of pre-production with my new music video. Some very cool ideas are being tossed out & it’s all very exciting. I’m working with a badass video guy of RMA productions. He thinks outside of the box & wants things to be right, he’s great. I'm looking forward to begin the process of shooting. This will be my first music video, so this IS a big deal for me. =)


Just wanted dish on all that && one more thing Nov 20th won’t come soon enough, NEW MOON! :) :) <---can you see my excitement people, can you see it?!!

it's a new day, good morning! Alot is new, loving life. :) I recently got the chance to be on FOX2- Detroit in the morning it went great, I want to thank everyone there again for being so very cool to me & inviting me out to sing. Also just got done doing another show at the Hard Rock Cafe' Detroit, thanks to all the supporters who came out. I love you madly. This past weekend I did a show in my hometown R-O-M-E-O.... it's been 5 years since I performed there. Thanks to Youngers Irish Tavern & all the awesome people who came out. Mwah! I'm now in the works right now with setting up more shows there as well as other sweeet venues. Here are a few pics from the events...

Anyways last night I decided to introduce my grandma to the 'Twilight' movie. It's been a while since I watched it, & if you ever want to be inspired watch that. I am not ashamed to say I am a Twilight junkie, like freakin obsessed with it along with the rest of the human population. Take the TIMEEE to read the books it's worth it, trust me. I'm so excited for the second movie, I'm for sure purchasing the tickets beforehand & wouldn't be like me if I didn't dress for the occasion. I will def. be sporting the 'Team Vampire' shirt. lol Count on it... pshh get it? "COUNT" ... on it... vampires?? ehh lol k i'm done

WATCH THE TRAILER FOR THIS!!!! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kSFMmkMfQ5Q

I hope to see all you rockstars there ;) I'm off to bed now, goodnight! <3

Trips & Old Videos

Wow... not asleep yet. I'm so tired but not at all interested in actually going to sleep. What really sucks about this is I have to wake up super early tomorrow morning. I'm looking around my room right now and wondering how long it's going to take me to clean such a mess up tomorrow. Just yesturday I was at Cedar Point with my family having an amazing time & riding crazy awesome rides. My brother & I rode the Dragster not once but TWICE, if you get the chance you must go on that it's worth the wait in line. Love that place so much. Then just this past weekend i had my up north trip with two of my friends, which was a great time. We slept in a tent overlooking the beach & the beautiful water, woke up to 90 degree weather & in a tent it might as well been 1,000 degrees. One of my friends decided to jump a fence then fell & sprained her ankle & had crutches the rest of the trip, not a good idea. We crutched through sandy beaches & the lake. haa Either way the trip was so much fun, the windows were always down & the music was always playing, good feelings & good vibes. =) So now my room has each trip laying on the floor, it's time to clean it up. Back to reality! :)

I've posted old videos on youtube of myself performing back in the day, years 2003- 2004... Check them out, I find them humorous, due to the outfits I'm wearing. etc. I think you'll enjoy them. It's so funny looking back at all this stuff & to see how much you've grown over the years, not just physically but mentally, very cool. Make sure to subscribe to my youtube page lovelies & drop comments on the videos. I'd love to hear your thoughts. hehe Bring it!

I love the rain it's so peaceful, but loud booming noises to keep you up all night, not a fan. :-/ My friends and I decided to bake a cake yesturday just because, & honestly I think that's the first cake I've ever baked in my entire life, you could definetly tell haha it turned out looking like a complete mess but it sure tasted yummmmy! hehe
oohh man, August is flying by, I can't believe it! It's beginning to feel like a very hectic crazy month with everything going on with my music as well as trying to fit the last summer extravaganzas in there. My mind is having a tough time settling down, it's jumping all over the place. AHHHH! I get to go up north this upcoming weekend with a few friends, can not wait. I'm in need of a get away & to have a ridiculous amount of fun. I'm SO ready to get out of this small town, break loose, find a very peaceful setting & write till my hand falls offf!!!! I'm craving it! There is just so much that I want to do...

Dedication- to Michael Jackson

Such a devastating tradgedy ..... I am in complete & total shock it doesn't seem real. This is a dedication to Michael Jackson, a true music Icon. My blessings go out to his family & all his loved ones. A musical genius & one of the greatest entertainers of all time. His music is timeless & will remain in the hearts of millions till the end of time.... No one will forget the King of Pop. Thank you Michael for the brilliant music you've created & inspiring so many people including me along the way. You will be greatly missed. RIP M.J

Contest & Myspace Layout Update

What’s Shakin? Yesterday, I hung out on the beach all day with my friends, soaked up some rays, ate pizza, played on the swings, failed at volleyball, danced to music… it was a good time. After we went on a friends boat & pretty much did the same thing, minus the swings, volleyball & pizza, so in all it really wasn’t the same at all, BOTH a good time though.


I was asked this week to perform at Sterlingfest on the Main Stage on Saturday August 1st @ 7pm. I am so incredibly stoked & I absolutely can’t wait. It’s a free festival, great food, fun activities & good music. So you MUST be there, & I WILL remind you.

Sneak Peak of Hard Rock Cafe' Pictures to come!!! ^

Hi blog, hi everyone. :) Thanks for stoppin by, I am considering this my first official blog post. I've been crazy busy lately, and I have a feeling it's only going to get busier and crazier. But I love it, I love every second that I get to devote to music. I just wrapped up recording my new EP titled 'I'm Ready.' It's something I am really proud of, and I can not wait for you all to hear the full project. I worked with an amazing producer named Michael King, a totally cool guy and absolute pleasure to work with.

This past Thursday I performed at The Hard Rock Cafe' in Detroit, which went great. I had so much fun, the atmosphere was phenomenal & the staff there were the coolest! I'm lucky to be able to share the stage with such an incredible group of muscians. I performed songs off the new EP, and the cd was actually on sale that night. Thank you to everyone who came out & showed your support & to everyone who bought the cd. I won't forget it! :)

My *NEW OFFICIAL WEBSITE is up and running and waiting for you to take a look see http://www.alyssasimmons.com/ I would love to hear your feedback.

I'm also loving writing new songs & filling up the empty pages in my notebook. Lots of songs that need to be heard. :)
