Alas De Liona

Alas de Liona hails from a small town in the Mojave Desert and after coming to Edinburgh for the final year of a university course, ended up making a life changing move from the USA to live full time in Scotland

 

Echoing a vocal lineage from Joni Mitchell to Phoebe Bridgers, and with a dreamlike, deep and thoughtful song writing sensibility, she released an album last September ‘Gravity Of Gold’, produced by Idlewild’s Rod Jones.

 

Great media acclaim followed including from the likes of Clash, The Line Of Best Fit, The Scotsman, BBC Radio Scotland, The Skinny, RTE, The Arts Desk, Fresh On The Net, God Is In The TV, Atwood Magazine, Noctis Magazine and Crack Magazine, she is steadily gaining recognition and showing all the signs of an artist to watch

 

As well as her own Edinburgh and Glasgow headline shows, her live performances include notable appearances opening for acclaimed artists such as Rufus Wainwright, Travis, Kathryn Joseph, The Proclaimers, Hamish Hawk and Emeli Sande. Summer 24 saw her appearing at Belladrum Festival and making her Dublin debut at the famous Ruby Sessions at Doyle’s.
