Album Notes

Sheilani Alix's debut album, "When Night Falls" offers a soulful touch to much-loved standards, while delivering a fresh yet velvety approach to the Great American Songbook. The album showcases songs reflecting music that filled her house as a child and attempts to paint the landscape of a Bay Area artist's personal story.
