Alisa Amador performing at Marietta College on March 21
Marietta, Ohio (02/16/2023) — The 2022 NPR Tiny Desk Contest winner, Alisa Amador, will perform at 8:00 p.m., Tuesday, March 21st, at The Gathering Place on Marietta College's campus. Amador's performance is part of the 2022-23 Esbenshade Series. This event is free and open to the public. Tickets are not needed to attend.
Amador's music is a synthesis of the many styles she's voraciously absorbed: rock, jazz, funk, and alternative folk, all wrapped in the spirit of the Latin music she grew up with. NPR's Cyrena Touros calls her "a pitch-perfect rendition of my wildest dreams." Amador's soulful singing, poetically incisive lyrics, and syncopated rhythms will likely make you cry, laugh, and dance all within one set. Amador released her debut EP, Narratives, in 2021.
Located in Marietta, Ohio, at the confluence of the Muskingum and Ohio rivers, Marietta College is a four-year liberal arts college. Tracing its roots to the Muskingum Academy back in 1797, the College was officially chartered in 1835. Today Marietta College serves a body of 1,200 full-time students. The College offers more than 50 majors and is consistently ranked as one of the top regional comprehensive colleges by U.S. News & World Report and The Princeton Review, as well as one of the nation's best by Forbes.com. Marietta was selected seventh in the nation according to the Brookings Institution's rankings of colleges by their highest value added, regardless of major.
