Artist History Alicia Champion is a San Francisco/ Boston based singer-songwriter. At nineteen, Alicia had been named Best Performer four times by the Northern California Songwriters Association (NCSA). Rarely do musicians capture the honesty and power on a recording that they capture in a live performance. This young woman does. She is a natural performer who has gained an impressive following at local coffee houses and clubs within both Boston and the Bay Area. Currently, Champion is finishing the last stages of her second record release, Cold Wars, which will be due out this Summer. Her debut album, Stories of My Soul, garnered rave reviews from publications such as CURVE Magazine to The Groove. It can be found at all Tower Records and Amoeba Musicoutlets in the Bay Area and can also be purchased online at cdbaby.com and amazon.com. For the new year, Alicia Champion has been leaving New England breathless with her smoldering live show. Working with a new band promoting the upcoming release, her music explodes with the energy of drummer Megan Carchman, bassist Lynzi Trowbridge, and guitarist Ben Farmer. With their collective experience ranging from pop to funk to rock and soul, Champion's sound is raw and unrivaled in power, performance, and passion.
