Folk-rock singer-songwriter Calista Garcia delivers flairs of Latin, blues, roots and pop, all tied together with introspective lyricism. Her distinctive, expressive style and musical ingenuity bring Calista to where she is today — having just released a single, “The Coals”, the first from an album entitled Confession, forthcoming in 2023. The new sonically diverse album, recorded at Plyrz Studios and produced by GRAMMY Award-winning producer Jim Scott (The Chicks, Tom Petty) in collaboration with Calista and GRAMMY Award-winning producer, Davíd Garza (Fiona Apple), showcases a “new classic” style — with a fresh, modern twist that hearkens back to the ‘70s era — drawing inspiration from legends such as Fleetwood Mac, Tom Petty, Paul Simon and Joni Mitchell.

Calista released her second EP called A Beautiful World on October 29 ,2021, also mixed by GRAMMY Award-winning producer, Jim Scott in his vintage-equipped LA studio. This record is a follow-on to her debut collection Wild Woman, released in April 2019 to much critical acclaim, garnering a nomination for “Best Roots/Country EP” in the 2020 Independent Music Awards. The project has also won multiple nominations and awards from International Acoustic Music Awards (IAMA), the International Songwriting Competition (ISC) and the Mid-Atlantic Songwriting Contest (MASC).

As seen on Season 16 of NBC’s The Voice, the 21-year-old is a prolific songwriter who plays guitar, piano, ukulele, bass, mandolin and harmonica, Calista is on Takamine’s worldwide roster of Takamine guitar artists.
