Join us for a performance by Alicia Blue to kick off the 2025 Common Chords concert series.
What began as writing poetry grew into songwriting that carries the imprint of being raised between Southern California and the Texas borderlands, where mariachi, folk and country mingle in a carousel of styles that blur the lines of Americana and country. Her heavyweight tracks linger long after the last note, guiding listeners through a wheel of emotions and leaving you reflecting on the stories that bind us together.
For Fans of Linda Ronstadt, Emmylou Harris and Bonnie Raitt.

About Alicia Blue:
Raised between the San Bernardino line in SoCal and the south borderlands of Texas, Alicia Blue grew up between cultures, rhythms, and stories—mariachi on her dad’s stereo, Country and Folk in her headphones, and notebooks full of poetry in her backpack. Music wasn’t the plan, but life had other ideas. A chance run-in with an aging soul singer changed everything—he saw something in her, and she leaned in. The poems turned into songs, and the guitar—barely more than a few chords at the time—became her tool for survival and connection.
Since then, Alicia has carved out a sound rooted in Americana and Country, shaped by fearless storytelling and a voice oft compared to Dolly or Emmylou, with a little Waylon at the edges. Her 2024 duet with Lucinda Williams, “Tennessee,” lit up critics and fans alike and she’s now recording her debut country album with none other than producer Shooter Jennings, who calls her “the voice of a generation” and “as rare as they come.” Alicia Blue is poised for a major year – and her singular sound is just beginning to reach the audience it was made for.

About Common Chords:
Woody Guthrie Center presents Common Chords, a powerful new series celebrating community, connection, and cultural movement. Common Chords was curated with our shared values of justice, equality, and compassion. We invite audiences to experience the unifying force of music.
Each season explores the traditions of folk, protest, and storytelling, while pushing boundaries with global reinterpretations of Guthrie’s songs and bold, experimental blends at the edges of folk. More than a concert series, Common Chords is a gathering place: a chance to reflect, connect, and find common ground through music. Learn more at woodyguthriecenter.org/commonchords.
