Local Barnstable Artist Picked up by LA Label

Local musician Alicia Mathewson celebrates a new album and a new deal with GO DIY, a record label in Los Angeles.

Mathewson is excited for her new venture. As part of the deal a song from her new album "Isn't it Amazing" will be included in a winter sampler being released by the label. The album will include other independent artists from Massachusetts.

Mathewson says she chose her song “Sitting alone” to be included, because it was inspired by her Cape Cod home. Specifically, sitting on the sun porch at her home in West Barnstable. Mathewson says including the song on the album will help her song get more radio play.

The song is much like the rest of her new album, “Isn’t It Amazing”, that was inspired by her own personal experience of transformation.

Mathewson describes a time in her life of,  “awakening through spiritual practices like yoga and meditation and moving through losses like losing my mother in 2007.”

Mathewson says she hopes the album will be a source of hope and inspiration and healing for those who need it.

“Isn’t it Amazing” was recorded in Orleans with Bruce Maclean at Maclean studios. “It was so great to record it right on Cape Cod and people – fans and industry alike have been impressed with how it sounds” Mathewson said.

Mathewson regularly plays at locations across the Cape. She plays at the Cape Cod Chat House in Dennis and other yoga studios. When she’s not touring she can be found giving young Cape Codders voice lessons and teaching guitar.

Mathewson will continue to tour this winter in Boston, Providence, and at a retreat in Northern California.

She will return from her tour with a live concert at the Cape Cod Chat House on December 21st.

“I feel so blessed to be able to live and sing on Cape Cod while also travelling to so many places that feed me musically and spiritually,” Mathewson said.
