Alice Russell is a true "blue-eyed soul" diva with amazing vocal strength and expression. And she seems quite willing to let it loose! Alice hails from Brighton, U.K. where she has developed a burgeoning career as one of the hottest UK soul singers. And she has performed as vocalist with Massive Attack, Roy Ayres, The Roots, Lonnie Liston Smith, De La Soul, Quantic, and The Quantic Soul Orchestra to name a few.
Luckily, she will be bringing bringing her funky vocal stylings to Madison soon - when she stops at the Majestic Theatre while on a short 14-City US tour. This show is just $10. If you enjoy the funk, don't miss this one.
Alice has garnered great reviews for her new album Pot Of Gold, out now on SF based Six Degrees Records:
"The best young British soul siren around is Alice Russell...Russell's not just renting a room in Soulsville-she wants to own it." - XLR8R;
"There's not a weak track on the album, and while Russell's vocals often have the effortless power of the young Aretha, you never get the feeling she's trying to emulate anyone other than herself." - Crawdaddy;
"Russell should become the U.K. soul darling of 2009." - Metromix.
