Lelica will perform on March 3rd in the Coppertop Pub of the Grain House Restaurant

As a special event, singer Lelica will perform in the Coppertop Pub of the Grain House Restaurant in Basking Ridge, performing as an acoustic duo with guitar.

Lelica is a NJ based Singer/Songwriter/Recording Artist (pronounced La Lisa). Lelica has had a love for music that began at the age of 5, when she started playing the piano and by age 7 she was writing her own songs. At 19 she gained momentum when she started working in recording studios as a session singer. It was during this time she was cast as the lead in "Amelia Earhart" an off-Broadway opera and recorded all of the character parts for the CD, 'Reflections of the Watermoon'. After the completion of that CD she decided to go back to school earning a Bachelors Degree in Business. She was then cast as the lead in the stage production of Beauty & the Beast at The Grange Theatre House in Hope, NJ.

In December of 2007 she was discovered by Steve Marinaccio & Scott Monetti of Marinetti Productions at a local club where she was performing. Almost immediately they signed her to their newly formed record label Green Chapel Records. Lelica was signed to Green Chapel Records/Marinetti Productions for almost 3 years. Her debut album is filled with great songs, that are well crafted, beautifully produced and was mixed by some of the best guys in the business including Grammy Award Winner: Jeff Juliano (John Mayer, Jason Mraz) and Roy Hendrickson ( Blondie, Carly Simon). Lelica's debut album, 'Not A Moment Too Late' which was written, produced and edited by Steve Marinaccio & Scott Monetti is available on iTunes, CDbaby and Amazon.com.
The track 'Come Away' off her debut album debuted on ABC Family's hit series 'Make It Or Break It' 2/8/10!
