The second broadcast this week of Mountain stage presents 2022 NPR Tiny Desk Contest winner Alisa Amador. A bilingual singer and songwriter, Amador captivates audiences with her soulful voice and a blend of rock, jazz and alternative folk sweetly wrapped in the Latin music she grew up with.
We also hear performances by leading Americana roots band Donna the Buffalo, North Carolina singer-songwriter David Childers & The Serpents, folk-country artist Jon Byrd, and the multigenerational, bi-coastal duo David Jacobs-Strain & Bob Beach.
Our song of the week, “Slow Down,” is the second track on Alisa Amador’s EP Narratives. “This song is for anyone who’s feeling stressed,” Amador explains, talking about those days and moments when you wish you could just slow down time.
This episode begins on Friday, June 28, on these public radio stations.
