ALIX DOBKIN


Alix Dobkin is a folk singer, educator, and writer from Woodstock, New York. She released the first internationally distributed album in the history of the world to give voice to the new Women's and Lesbian music of the 1970's. The album was called "Lavender Jane Loves Women," and was released in 1973 in collaboration with Kay Gardner and Marilyn Riese. She is described by many as "exemplifying the tradition of Woodie Guthrie and Pete Seeger," giving voice and inspiration to political and social movement over many decades. Raised in Philadelphia, Dobkin was a guitar-playing Communist teenager in the 1950's. Immediately after graduating from the Tyler School of Fine Arts, she headed north to NYC's world-famous Gaslight Cafe, and from that rich, heady, heart of Greenwich Village launched her full-time, professional folk singing career in the early '60's. Focusing during the first decade on an international and contemporary/protest repertory, she came out as a Lesbian in 1972 and turned to writing and singing for women in general and to building Lesbian Culture in particular. Over the last 25 years, Dobkin has released 6 albums, one songbook, and traveled to hundreds of women's communities in the USA and abroad. Dobkin was twice voted "All Time Favorite Performer" by Hot Wire Magazine.
