Alisa Amador at Passim

BRIGHT LIGHT TRAVELERS

Another year. Another chapter in what romantics like me call, “the journey of life”. It’s in this time of darkness and cold that we come together for BRIGHT LIGHT TRAVELERS, a concert dedicated to the ones who stumble through life’s winding paths (like me, and perhaps like you).

On January 1, 2, & 3 at Club Passim, the band and I will share an evening of original music, poetry, new songs, and surprise musical guests.

When searching for the salient theme of my music, I realized that if there is anything life has taught me, it is this: the pain we carry is also what makes us more compassionate, more perceptive, and more strong. So, bring your baggage. This concert is dedicated to you.

Alisa Amador’s music is a synthesis of the many styles she’s voraciously absorbed: rock, jazz, funk and alternative folk, all wrapped in the spirit of the Latin music she grew up with. With a sound described by Vance Gilbert as, “Shawn Colvin meets Joni Mitchell has lunch with Amy Winehouse meets Suzanne Vega and Diana Krall,” and NPR calls, “a pitch-perfect rendition of my wildest dreams,” her soulful singing, poetically incisive lyrics, and syncopated rhythms, are likely to make you cry, laugh, and dance all within one set.
