Alan Licht: Singer-Songwriter in New York

About Alan Licht

Alan Licht is an American guitarist, composer, and writer whose work moves between experimental practice and the language of rock and pop. His playing often folds noise, drone, and open-form improvisation into pared-down structures, with an ear for minimal repetition and abrupt shifts. In New York City he has appeared at venues including the Knitting Factory and Pianos, sharing bills with artists such as Will Epstein, Ward/Holmes Volume Off, and Gryphon Rue. His performances tend to favor inquiry over polish.
