So, who is Alicia Bay Laurel?  What does she do, anyway? 

I currently tour as a singer/songwriter/guitarist/storyteller, with four critically acclaimed, self-produced music CDs, one all-original psych folk, one Hawaiian (half original, half historic), one jazz/blues (10 original and 2 standards) and one Americana/world music (eleven songs and medleys, of which I wrote 2). 

I also wrote, illustrated and designed Living on the Earth, a legendary boho sustainable living guide, that was the first paperback book on the New York Times Bestseller List, in spring 1971, and launched a graphic art and drawing style that is still widely emulated to this day. It's still in print in English, Japanese and Korean. You can buy it on this website, signed by me. I've illustrated eight other books, five of which I also wrote or co-wrote.

This site is about my art, music, writing, tours, friends, projects, and activism. Just below is a list of available books, CDs and other luscious Alicia originals for sale, and below that, a blog including my tour diary, healthful recipes, lots of political and environmental heads-ups, and lots of arts and lifestyle articles, in no particular order.

In the upper left corner of the site is a menu with quick links to my press kit (bio, high res photo, press releases) and easy links to the online shopping cart.

Further down the left column you’ll find a Search by Tags link. If, for example, you want to see everything posted so far about my Japan tours, click on “tags” and then click on “Japan.” You’ll get all of those posts, but in reverse chronological order, so you might want to read the last post in the list first and work your way toward the top of the list. If I learn how to reverse the order of the blog posts in a tag list, I'll let you know here.

Thanks for visiting!
