We are thrilled to introduce Alice Di Micele to the Progressive Voices Concerts audience. With a five-octave range that is intense, sensual, rich and soulful, Di Micele has been known to turn a noisy bar silent within a few notes. Her warm presence and humor disarm and create a rare intimacy between audience and performer. Whether singing a jazzy-folk number, belting a sassy blues, crooning a hushed ballad, or rocking out on one of her trademark rhythmic earthy grooves, Alice is a vocalist that moves people.
A kick-ass guitarist as well, whether playing solo or with a band “Force of Nature” her acoustic guitar conjures percussive poly-rhythms, bass lines, and melodies that perfectly frame her vocals.Meet Alice Di MiceleThe singles, Long Dry Winter and Alone, explore the grief, loss, and depression that many people experience these days. “I hope the songs remind folks to reach out and just simply be a presence for someone.” The new album balances the deeper emotional waters it treads with uplifting, lighter love songs like Free, and the fun, sparkly track, Sunrise.
In 2017, while mixing her One With The Tide album, she bonded with Bret Levick over rock and roll idol Tom Petty, whose untimely death that year inspired Bret and Alice to start the band Petty Thievery. This deep dive into Petty songs influenced Alice’s songwriting, “Getting inside another songwriter’s head by playing so many of his songs has really opened me up in a new way.”Explore her music and extraordinary voice on YouTube.
“Alice’s music has that great combination of earthiness and groove that keeps it funky from the inside out. She’s for real.” – Bonnie Raitt
“...her rich, jazzy vocals, laid upon a bed of easygoing folk pop, are as warm and inviting at a cup of thick cocoa.” – The Oregonian
“This lady’s no shrinking violet...a talent noteworthy in the extreme.” – Rock ‘n Reel, UK
