Alessi’s Ark - I Wish I Wrote That Song

Alessi’s Ark (https://www.facebook.com/Alessisarkmusic/) is the brainchild of Alessi Laurent-Marke. After various band formations over the last 10 years or so, Alessi is now joined by Jason Santos on keys, programming and making planters for their balcony. During our conversation, we discussed recording Alessi’s debut album in Nebraska, the new EP, Truth, and how Alessi’s newly found faith has affected her work, and of course, the song they wish they wrote, a song by Dawes. Alessi’s Ark have released four albums to date, the first, ‘Notes From The Treehouse’ in 2009, through to the most recent 2017’s 'Love Is The Currency'. Alessi’s most recent release is the six track 'Truth EP', was released earlier this year.
