C3 PRESENTS Lissie at Antone's

*This event is 18 and over

'My Wild West begins' with an overture, by definition an "introduction to something more substantial." In this case it is Lissie's third studio album and her most personal one to date, a fitting tribute to Lissie's life in California, from her arrival as a fresh-faced singer-songwriter till now, leaving for the Midwest wiser and more self-assured. Bookended by the songs "Hollywood" and "Ojai," it brings out the two extremes of the past decade -- the dashed hopes and heartbreak of the former and the "stability, joy and peace" of the latter. 'My Wild West' represents both a new beginning and a return to Lissie's Midwestern roots.

'My Wild West' was recorded with producer Curt Schneider in his Studio City home -- he oversaw the project as a whole, produced 8 tracks on the record and pulled together the additional material from Lissie's time recording with her band in Ojai and with Bill Reynolds in Nashville. As the album unfolds, we see a more confident Lissie, self-assured and coming into her own power. "I want my 40 acres in the sun," sings Lissie on "Hero," written before she had made the decision to leave California. It details Lissie's life on the West Coast and the empowerment she felt that she could leave and demand a new adventure from life: "I could have been a hero, I could have been a zero, I could have been all of these things."

After being signed by Sony U.K., Lissie's two previous albums, 2010's 'Catching a Tiger' and 2013's 'Back to Forever,' came out on Columbia in England and prestigious indie Fat Possum in the U.S., both scoring in the Top 20 of the U.K. charts and Top 5 in Norway, the former going gold in both countries. Stateside, the two releases hit the Top 5 in Billboard's Heatseekers chart, peaked at #5 and #11, respectively, on the U.S. Folk tally and went Top 40 on the Indie chart.

"There was always a bit of commercial compromise, like pressure to make the charts and sell units," she recalls of her experience on a major label
