Biography
Although a relative newcomer to the music scene, Alicia is quickly standing out. She recently placed third in the Tucson Folk Festival Songwriting Contest and received an Honorable Mention in the Woody Guthrie Folk Festival Songwriting Contest. In the words of renowned songwriter Steve Seskin, Alicia's music is "Passionate, poignant poetry combined with beautiful melodies sung with a great sense of what she's singing about. Alicia McGovern doesn't just write songs and sing them, she feels them deeply and when you listen to her, you can't help but do the same."
Alicia has just released her sophomore CD which she recorded with Mark Thayer at Signature Sounds Studio in CT. The Lyrical Venus Radio hour calls Alicia's album "the sonic equivalent of a stop animation video. Quivering, fluid, delicate, with soft edges, a touch of vintage aesthetic, full of whimsical surprises and the the occasional quirky left turn, Words Through the Seasons is a true delight. Fans of Dar Williams and Lucy Kaplansky will feel right at home with Alicia's music."
