FITZGERALDS NIGHTCLUB PRESENTS: ALICIA BLUE at FITZGERALDS Nightclub  $20 General Admission / Reserved Tables Available  Alicia Blue’s path to music didn’t follow a straight line. Born along the San Bernardino line in California and raised between Southern California and South Texas, she grew up between cultures, rhythms, and stories—mariachi on her dad’s stereo, West Coast soul 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.  She played her first open mic in 2016, armed with heart and raw talent. Just a few years later, “Magma,” one of her earliest songs, landed on Starbucks’ flagship Spotify playlist and played in stores around the world. Word started to spread: there was something different about this voice. Honest. Haunting. Unafraid. By 2020, Alicia had carved out a name for herself in LA’s songwriter scene, blending Americana, folk, and alt-country with an emotional depth that felt both timeless and refreshingly current. A brief trip to Nashville in 2021 to write with some local legends turned into a full-blown relocation the following spring. It didn’t take long for her to find her people—and her place—in Music City.     In 2024, she released a run of powerful singles, including “Tennessee,” a soul-stirring duet with Lucinda Williams that garnered critical buzz and introduced Alicia to a whole new audience. By 2025, her sound had evolved again, digging deeper into the classic country she grew up on, colored by the mariachi melodies her Mexican father once played for her. Think Dolly meets Emmylou, with a little Waylon at the edges. Now, Alicia’s gearing up to record her debut country album with none other than Shooter Jennings, who’s called her “the voice of a generation” and “as rare as they come.” With new music on the horizon, label talks in motion, and a voice that feels both familiar and completely her own, Alicia Blue is poised for a breakout year—and she’s just getting started.      Grab dinner before the show at BABYGOLD BARBECUE (link to restaurant website) Or enjoy full service dining inside the club when doors open.   ***PARKING*** There is rather limited street parking in the area, we recommend arriving by rideshare, bicycle, or rickshaw.     ***AGE RESTRICTIONS*** 21+, minors admitted with guardian
