It’s been a long time coming, but I’m finally ready to dive into my next big musical endeavor—a brand-new full-length album. And I’m so glad you’re here.

If you’re reading this, you’re already part of my world. Maybe you’ve been to a show, a Heber City Limits concert, heard me on KPCW, ordered a beer from me, or followed along on my journey as a songwriter. However you got here, I wouldn't be doing any of this without you.

The last time I made a record, I was full of doubt—about my songs, my voice, my place in all of this. I second-guessed everything: Were my songs strong enough? Was I ready? Producer Mary Bragg—queen that she is—saw the potential before I did and helped shape These Four Walls into something I’m still incredibly proud of.

That album was a turning point. Everyone around me believed in me more than I believed in myself. Since then, I’ve learned how to let my community hold me up. I’ve learned that my voice, my songwriting, and my perspective all matter. I’ve written a whole lot of songs—some you’ll never hear (trust me, it’s for the best), and some that are frankly pretty damn good.

Now, I’m stepping into this next record with confidence. I know who I am as an artist. I know the space I want to take up. And I know I have an incredible team to help me bring these songs to life.

I’m recording at Freda Recording in Pleasant Shade, Tennessee, a breathtakingly beautiful studio built from the ground up by Nick Bullock and Meredith Bullock. If I’ve learned anything from them, it’s that I need to dream bigger. Their studio is more than mics and amps and knobs—it’s a space designed for creativity to thrive. I’ve stood inside those pine walls, seen their vision come to life, and felt the energy of a place built for the music.

I’ve worked with Nick on a couple projects now, and he’s been a champion of these songs from the start. He knows how to pull the best out of me, to capture the real, unfiltered Alicia-ness of every track. This album is happening now because the songs are ready, because I’m ready, and because I have a team who believes in these songs as much as I do.

I know not everyone can contribute financially, and that’s okay! There are other ways to help make this album a success.

If you have skills or time or resources to donate, here are some ways you can help:

Graphic Design & Visual Art – Album art, social media graphics, or merch designs.
Photography & Video – Promo photos and videos, music videos??
Digital Advertising & Social Media Ads – Help with ad strategy and maximizing reach.

If you’re interested in helping, reach out! I’d love to collaborate and appreciate any support you can offer.

So......... Let’s make a record!

This career path I’ve chosen—the writing, the singing, the touring—comes with challenges: self-doubt, burnout, an industry that undervalues art. But it also comes with connection, joy, and the privilege of making something real.

And that’s where you come in.

I know my place in the music world because of the people who show up—who come to shows, stream my songs, buy albums, and tell their friends about me. You remind me why I do this.

So, let’s do this together. Let’s make a record. Let’s make something honest, fun, and full of heart.

I can’t wait for you to hear it.

All my love,

Alicia
