Meet LIRIS ROBLES, performing on the Community Stage @ Central Ave for the Downtown Alameda Art & Wine Faire this Sunday 3:10-4:00.
Hey there! My name is Liris Robles. I’m an indie/folk singer-songwriter from Alameda! I play many instruments, but you’ll usually find me performing with my trusty acoustic guitar!
1️⃣ Who is an artist that really had an impact on your music?
I’m inspired by so much & so many! Joan Baez, Joni Mitchell, Iris DeMent, and Adrinne Lenker, to name a few! Although the most impactful person by far has got to be my dad. He taught me to play the drums when I was six years old and passed down a deep love for music.
2️⃣ How’d you get your start performing?
I’ve been performing in one way or another since I was about six or seven. If I had to choose a beginning… I’d say busking and open mics are where I started really performing my music.
3️⃣ Talk a bit about one of your most memorable performances
I just recently put on my own album release House Concert, and it was absolutely a night to remember. My dad and I built a stage in my tiny living room, and we stuffed it full of wonderful people, instruments, lights, food, and MUSIC.
4️⃣ What’s one piece of advice you offer to folks just starting out performing music?
Busking and open mics are great places to start! Connect with other musicians! Practice what it feels like to play in front of an audience. Most importantly though, don’t forget why you started playing music in the first place. Don’t forget to play for yourself!! There’s a David Bowie quote that says it better… haha!
5️⃣ Where can people find you after Art & Wine? Anything new you want to promote?
I just released my very first album DREAMSTORM, out now on all streaming platforms!! You can keep up with more performances & new music I’m writing/releasing by followin’ my Instagram: Thanks for reading! Hope to see some of you at the Faire!
