Liah Alonso
EPISODE 82: 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. 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 tours and records internationally and releases music in multiple languages. Most recently in 2022, Liah was part of a Latin Grammy nominated album for her collaboration with Mexican Rock royalty La Gusana Ciega. She has released music in Spanish, French and Portuguese on her travels as a musical cultural explorer. Some people pick up souvenirs when they travel, Liah pick’s up a band and writes a song for us all to enjoy. 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, Cypress Hill, Run DMC, War & Treaty, The Mavericks and more. Most recently, Liah performed at SXSW, The Pepsi Center Stadium in Mexico City, City Winery in New York, House Of Blues in New Orleans and The Sandy Beaches Music Cruise. liahalonso.comContact us: makingsoundpodcast.comFollow on Instagram: @makingsoundpodcastFollow on Threads: @jannkloseJoin our Facebook GroupPlease support the show with a donation, thank you for listening!
