Liah Alonso, musical amazon, wields her guitar wherever she goes and lights up the room with her smile. Her memorable lyrics and catchy melodies evoke a quirky loveliness you can’t help but adore. Based in Mexico and brought up in NYC, Liah’s sound combines folk, Latin and rock and has a theatrical and often comedic flair. Although she has been known to write a fierce, tear-jerking break-up song now and again, she much prefers to portray the irony of our society and the strange times we are living in with humor and soul. Memorable songs like “The High Heel Blues”, “Self-Help Guru Goddess”, “Unsolicited Dick Pic”, and “Ser Mujer” will stay with you forever.
Liah has come a long way from her start as a subway performer in downtown NYC. In her nearly two decades as an independent working artist, Liah has released several albums under LEFT ON RED and many collaborations across genres and cultures. She has shared stages with Tom Morello, Jackson Browne, La Gusana Ciega, Cyprus Hill, Run DMC, War & Treaty, The Mavericks and more. Most recently, Liah performed at SXSW, The Pepsi Center Stadium and Auditorio National in Mexico City, City Winery in New York, House Of Blues in New Orleans and The Sandy Beaches Music Cruise.
Every time you see Liah Alonso play you’ll feel the rush of live music again. Her energy and spontaneity on stage are contagious. She is a multi-dimensional artist whose songs and stories reach in and touch your soul and leave a song in your heart forever.
