“Mexican music has always been in my blood. I was raised around it and I learned how to sing and play that style of music from my grandmother. She was the one that really made me fall in love with the genre … I began singing country music when I was in high school because I loved the stories those songs told. With my new album, I thought it would be perfect to combine country style with attributes of traditional Mexican music. Both genres have a storytelling quality that I love. I hope everyone from age two to ninety nine loves this new music because each song not only has meaning, it also makes you want to dance!"
Alyssia Dominguez is bringing a new flair to country music by infusing a touch of her Hispanic roots. Growing up in a family deeply rooted in traditional Tejano music, Alyssia was always destined to be a musician. Alyssia began performing at local venues at the age of fifteen. Since then, the list of stages where she has performed has grown to include the Wisconsin State Fair, Summerfest, The Gobbler Theater, Turner Hall Ballroom, and many others. Currently performing as a solo artist Alyssia is hoping to change the game in the music scene with her unique style.
For our 20th Birthday Celebration Season, the Wilson Center is thrilled to be part of a “shop local” arts initiative with Wisconsin Music Ventures, as we work together to build community through music and music through community. Our inaugural “Green Room” concert series features a true sound sampling of artists from around Wisconsin and is designed to introduce audiences to artists from a wide range of locales around our state (and just a little beyond) and an eclectic array of genres—including jazz, pop, rock, country, folk, soul, classical, Celtic, and more. Unless otherwise noted, each Green Room Series concert will take place in our intimate, cabaret-style Dawes Studio Theater.
