Alicia Healey is real live Iowa farm girl. Back on the homestead, her powerful, classically-trained voice won her acclaim in musical theatre, but her "inner songwriter" was hankering to get out. She polished up her folk guitar, came west, and started writing songs that added a contemporary folk flavor to her driving pop and country. Her songwriting is featured on the CD "Quiet Here".
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 (available for download and order), which highlights both the lead-vocal prowess and the magical blend of the three voices.
She is currently busy with several projects. Refocused on a solo show, she is writing new (and polishing off old) songs and refining arrangements and outfits. She is also playing bass and singing with area songwriters:
She also spends an odd weekend or two playing with Sugar Mama, a chemical reaction of some Swamp Mama Johnson and Sugartown band members. The new mixture is a fun, dancable take on a Rock/R&B/Funk- flavored repertoire.
However, playing music is only one side of her musical rubik's cube. 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.
