Artist description Alicia has charmed audiences in the U.S., Europe, and Latin America. In 2000 she was nominated by the Washington Area Music Association for a Wammie Award as Latino Vocalist of the Year. Alicia’s music is on the cutting edge of the cross-cultural Latin American explosion that is occurring in popular music today. She does not limit herself or her audiences to one musical style. Moving from American Folk Pop to Blues and smooth interpretations of Latin love songs, her performance is a musical journey through moments of American life - train tracks in Richmond, cornfields, carousels, smoky bars - and everyday life - romance, heartbreak and family relationships. She lulls audiences with her sensual interpretations of the classic Latin American bolero (love ballad).Alicia's second CD Highways, due for release in June, unites Alicia and her original compositions with the broad sound of a full band. The results are magical. Highways follows the 1999 release of her debut album Here With You, a reflective solo effort so characteristic of the singer/songwriter troubadour style that has made Alicia so popular.
