Hi! My name is Vessna Scheff.
"She looks at you and you're just like, shit... She did that to me at World Cafe and I was like, I think I love her."
-- Tin Angel // Jason Gooch
With a haunting and head turning tone, Vessna Scheff silences rooms with the first breath and pluck of the ukulele. Unafraid of connecting with the audience in a intimate performance, she pierces the souls of listeners in an unforgettable show. Her nuanced vocals delicately weave the powerful stories she tells through her lyrics about love and emotional development.
Since moving to Philly, she has pursued singing and watercolor painting full time, playing regularly at Luna Cafe and Baril each Sunday, and "touring" locally in Philly with about 4 shows a week. She has developed quite a following with music and art, having audience members from both mediums merge in a visual and auditory experience. She is currently incorporating beats into her live performance. Listen to this for taste of what's to come: Good By Me.
"This artistic, curly-haired Philadelphian uses her ukulele and her gentle voice as vessels for her poignant songs, the effect of which is like sinking slowly into an old hammock–endlessly inviting, but move too fast and the magic might break around you. The chanteuse is expanding both her reach and her repertoire–recent efforts have included the soulful trumpet of Koof Ibi, who partnered with Scheff on her recent touring through Switzerland–and will no doubt be one to watch, especially in coming months. The point is this–if you’re looking for new creative energies to celebrate, it would be hard to do better than Vessna Scheff."

Craic Radio Interview w/ Fergie Carey and Sean TimmonsJanuary, 2017
Had such a great time talking with Fergie Carey of Fergie's Pub and Seán Timmons! Such great questions and conversation. Got a chance to discuss my first tape my Mom got for me- Ladysmith Black Mambazo, Gift of the Tortoise, and how the complexity of music is intergenerational. When kids (and adults) have the opportunity to engage with complex music as opposed to simply "kids music", they can begin to develop their musical ear at a younger age. (Thanks Mom! <3) Listen to the full broadcast HERE. |
