Alix Olson

I wanted to spread the word about my newest love.  Alix Olson is a queer artist whose pieces range from folk to spoken word.  She deals with everything from capitalism to sexuality to rape and abuse in her pieces.  She's passionate and a really gifted writer and performer.  Her bio describes her as "one part peace vigil, one part protest rally, and one part joyful raucous concert."

If you get a chance, check out her work.  I've had the songs going through my head for days now...and it's wonderful.

Enjoy!

Alix Olson ROCKS! My fiancee introduced me to her music [and later to her at a concert :)] sometime last year, and I have been hooked ever since.

She is so awesome! I saw her perform at v^10, the big Vagina Monologues event in New Orleans this spring. Fell in love!
