Since it was such a hit and we know some of you missed our show on 12/27, we wanted to bring you an encore presentation of the show. We will be re-broadcasting the live performance on 12/27 to bring some warming entertainment to keep you jazzed for the ball drop for the transition to 2021! This is an unprecedented time and what a way to bring in the new year than tot listen to some wonderful music by 3 wonderful songbirds.
About our musicians:
Alecia Haselton: Corralitos-based Alecia Haselton started her songwriting journey in 2018, having previously fronted bands from pop-punk to 60s mod/soul. Her vocals have been compared to Dolores O’Riordan of The Cranberries with an Avril-Lavigne alt edge. Now living in Hawai’i, her alt rock/pop/folk songs are influenced by world travels and communal frequencies. Maybe one is yours!
Maya McNeil: Excited to play from the Lille Aeske stage again, Scottish-American artist Maya McNeil, currently of Olpen-Ramaytush Ohlone land/La Honda area, will share original works and traditional folk tunes, in honor of all that many have gone through, grown and let go of this year, and for the times we wish to come.
McNeil’s longtime love is songcraft, for story and music are forever vital to shaping change (-Octavia Butler), and bridging the fertile dream and spirit worlds with the ones we often struggle through day to day; cleansing and strengthening the way.
Their first full-length studio album of original songs is making its pandemic paced way to completion some time in 2021. You can find them and connect on Instagram @maya_mcneil_music
Sarah "Songbird" Fishleder: Sarah began performing as a child in musical theater productions and continued through adolescence. She performed as a dancer and actress throughout college and discovered a deep connection to music as her spiritual path developed more profoundly in young adulthood. Sarah's reconnection to her voice and vocal gifts came as she participated in local Songstress Legend Heather Houston’s women’s singing circles where she cultivated her relationship to her own sound and strengthened her knowledge of the power of music to be a conduit for healing. Sarah began writing songs about 4 years ago out of a heart cracking open in grief and is now sharing her original music with the community and her soul tribe worldwide ever since.
