Tickets are $20 in advance or $25 at the door and are available at the Green Spot, 711 State Ave., Alamosa, or online at www.societyhall.org.

Like her cousin Linda Ronstadt, Mexican-American vocalist and singer-songwriter Lisa Morales and her sister Roberta grew up in a musical family in Tucson, Ariz., learning to perform traditional Mexican music while developing broad-ranging musical taste prior to moving to Texas.
Lisa's performances move back and forth effortlessly between Spanish and English lyrics and styles – she is truly a force in either world, and the larger bicultural Hispano-Americana realm that embraces them both.
Lisa Morales’ credentials on the songwriter scene were established long before the release of her debut solo album, “My Beautiful Mistake,” in 2011. In addition to performing and recording for nearly two decades as part of the acclaimed San Antonio-based sibling duo Sisters Morales (with her beloved sister, Roberta, who passed away from cancer in August 2021), Lisa also produced “Flowers & Liquor,” the 2002 debut album by Americana music favorite Hayes Carll. But it was “My Beautiful Mistake” (hailed by Lone Star Music Magazine as “an absolutely flat-out devastating and stunning work of art”) and it’s equally luminous follow-up, 2018’s “Luna Negra & the Daughter of the Sun,” that marked the Tucson, Ariz.-native’s true arrival as a creative force to be reckoned with and, according to Rolling Stone, “one of the most multifaceted artists to watch in 2018.”
On her third album, 2022’s “She Ought to Be King,” Lisa Morales once again affirmed her world-class stature with a distinctive perspective and a remarkable capacity for looking both inward and outward.
“I’ve been looking at how strong we women are,” she says “We keep evolving and gaining more confidence with time. We don’t sink into our own shoes — we stand taller in them.”
Morales recently finished recording her next album “Sonora,” as yet unreleased, and will be featuring some of the new material in her Society Hall concert.
