Alfa Garcia at Five Points (Photo by Michael Lesley. More photos here )
THE first time I heard Alfa play was about three years ago at Five Points in Mott Street. Back then it was still carrying the name Teabag, and it was being staged in the basement of Silk Road place.
Two things struck me the first time I heard her play: Brilliant songwriting and guitar skills. Her songs even back then were mature–devoid of bubblegum and sugar coating. There were no pretentious attempts to be cool, angry and cute– just real and honest songs.
She sang about airplanes, meaningless conversations and being un-Filipino. She played her meticulously crafted songs with above average guitar skills that reminded me of the Indigo Girls and Joni Mitchell.
