Alix Olson Bio
Alix Olson is an internationally touring folk poet and progressive queer artist-activist. One part peace vigil, one part protest rally, and one part joyful raucous concert, Alix ignites audiences everywhere she performs. Olson's inumerable stage, broadcast, radio and print appearances include twice headlining HBO's "Def Poetry Jam" (Russell Simmons), and an inclusion in Utne Magazine's InRadio compilation. Utne's website calls Olson "...the spoken word diva everyone's talking about."

Alix has graced the cover of Ms Magazine, who called Olson a "road-poet-on-a-mission," and her work has been featured in Girlfriend's Magazine, The Advocate, OUT Magazine, Curve, Lesbian Review of Books and on the covers of Lambda Book Report, Lavender Lens, and Velvet Park magazines. A recent interview with Olson for The Progressive calls her a "word warrior" and gives a comprehensive peek into just what makes her work so compelling. Alix has appeared on the nationally syndicated Air America's "unfiltered" radio (co-hosts Rachel Maddow, Rachel Winstead, and Chuck D), as well as Oxygen television, CNN, HBO, In the Life, and WXPN's World Cafe with David Dye, and local radio stations around the country.
