Local Artist Spotlight: Anjelia Pelay

Anjelia Pelay is a rising star from Asbury Park, NJ, who is an actress, dancer, singer, songwriter, and instrumentalist. The multi-talented artist will be releasing her debut full length album Believe on November 11, 2011 and will also be having an album release show at The Stone Pony in Asbury Park that same day.  

I have already heard a few tracks off of Believe, and they are really quite stunning. Anjelia has a beautiful voice and it's really rare to see such talent and sincerity on a debut album. She transitions effortlessly from soul to pop-rock to covering Tom Petty's "Walls," and sounds exceptional in everything she does. Clearly she needs to be added to the list of fantastic new local artists to watch. You can check out her songs "A Long Way," "Walls," and "IDK" on her website now, and get the full album on November 11th.

Her live show this month won’t just be a regular concert, she has a multimedia experience planned that should be unlike most local shows. She will have a full five-piece band backing her as well as a trio of back-up singers and four back-up dancers. She will also add a theatrical element by including short films and special effects.

The Stone Pony show will take place on Friday, November 11, 2011. Doors open at 7:30pm, and it is an all ages show. Also performing that night are other local artists including Michael Dante Summonte and Town Hall. Tickets are $10 in advance at the Stone Pony Box office and through Ticketmaster (they charge a $3 fee per ticket for this show), and tickets at the door will be $12.
