"Really loving that vocal" Craig Charles, BBC Radio 2
Alice Armstrong is a multi UK Blues Awards-nominated singer-songwriter from the UK, known for her wide vocal range, unconventional lyrics, enigmatic stage presence and powerful performances peppered with her trademark sense of humour.
She has spent the last few years on the stage of many of the UK's biggest rhythm and blues festivals and has regularly guested with the Stevie Watts Organ Trio.
Andy W writes: “Alice performed here at Ashburton Arts Centre in the Tinners Moon Festival with Stevie Watts on Hammond organ – it's one of the best gigs here ever, and their album is never off of the player – I never get tired of hearing her vocals, just extraordinary! Book early for this one!” Andy Williamson, Arts Director, Ashburton Arts Centre
With Alice will be:
Josh Rigal, bass
Kev Hickman, drums
Olly Knight-Smith, guitar

Joe Bonamassa invited Alice to bring her band and perform on his "Keeping The Blues Alive" Cruise in August 2023.
Alice credits Ella Fitzgerald, Etta James, Aretha Franklin, Donnie Hathaway, Amy Winehouse, Peggy Lee and Dinah Washington as her main musical influences.
