Seattle songwriter Alicia Healey brings with Lisa Mills and Laurie Miller (both of Swamp Mama Johnson) will be performing vocals, harmonica and electric guitar at Cafe Luna.
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” 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 (available for download and order), which highlights both the lead-vocal prowess and the magical blend of the three voices.
