BACKYARD SERENADES

Alicia Healey is a powerful vocalist, rhythm guitarist and bass player. She performs as a solo performer, with a trio (it adds harmonica, harmony vocals and electric guitar) as well as with a full band.

 

She learned to sing from Barbara Streisand, Dolly Parton, Carly Simon and Olivia Newton-John and learned to write from John Prine, Gretchen Peters, James Taylor and Cat Stevens.

 

She is also a sound mixer, sound consultant/co-ordinator, vocal and performance coach, and producer. The specialty is acoustic pop and folk; the approach is fun. In her new studio, The Winterblue Room, she has works with several local musicians on their projects. Her songwriting is featured on the CD “Quiet Here” and her new recording “Live at the Mansion.”

 

She spent several years with the acoustic country/folk group Rodeo Lagoon a group well-known in the Pacific Northwest for its amazing harmonies and fresh arrangements of folk and bluegrass songs. Rodeo Lagoon recorded an 7-song CD in 2001 which highlights both the lead-vocal prowess and the magical blend of the three voices.
