Meet Liah Alonso and Kelly Halloran,
collectively known as Left on Red.
The two young women’s talents run the musical gamut but
they are primarily a rock duo featuring Liah on guitar, Kelly on
violin, and both on vocals with lots of harmonies .
Left on Red’s captivating shows consist of original songs with
catchy melodic hooks and intelligent, often humorous lyrics
and cover songs, diverse in era, genre and language. They
artfully integrate guest musicians into shows to suit a
particular venue or mood but whether they’re rockin’ the NYC
subway platform or a stage with a backing band, their music
touches people of all ages in an unforgettably real way.
Kelly and Liah’s collective story began when they decided to
make their living exclusively through busking (street
performing) in the New York Subways. Now after 2 years
together, they have written and recorded 2 EPs, been played on
over 150 college radio stations, and wowed audiences of all
ages and musical tastes with their unique brand of fun yet
socially relevant lyrics and passionate improvisational
instrumentation.
In addition to busking and performing in clubs and festivals
across the US and abroad, Liah and Kelly bring their music
directly to people otherwise unable to enjoy live music.. people
in hospitals and nursing homes and domestic violence survivors
at The YWCA shelters. Left on Red also performed for war
veterans on a shared bill with Tom Morello and his organization
Axis of Justice. The beauty of LOR is they find a way to present
heavy hitting topics in an engaging manner that leaves
audiences inspired, empowered and happy.
