DENNIS, MA – 1988 Barnstable High School graduate, Alicia Mathewson, celebrates the global release of her new album (2012: Isn’t It Amazing?) with a live concert at the Cape Cod Chat House on Thursday, March 22, 2012 at 7PM.

A portion of the proceeds from her CD sales and upcoming performances will benefit the SQ Foundation, an organization that helps fund humanitarian projects (such as providing clean water, food, education, and shelter) to impoverished people in developing nations. 2012: Isn’t It Amazing? is an impressive album that showcases Alicia Mathewson’s pure voice and powerful songwriting, as well as her ability to play multiple instruments. Alicia’s music was inspired by her travels abroad, as well as her surroundings on Cape Cod. With songs like Birds in Barnstable, Sweet September, and Fairy Queen, she paints pictures with her lyrics and blends age-old chants and modern melodies to create songs that bring peace and harmony to the hearts and minds of listeners.
