Alix
Dobkin, raised in Philadelphia, was a guitar-teenager
in the 1950's. Immediately after graduating from the
Tyler School of Fine Arts, Alix headed east 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 traveled to
hundreds of women's communities in the USA and abroad.
