Book tickets for Alice Armstrong

Alice Armstrong is a singer-songwriter and entertainer from the UK, gaining traction like a runaway train on the British live music scene.  Known for her impressive vocal range, unconventional lyrics, long red hair, light-sensitivity glasses and enigmatic stage presence, Alice's music busts the seams of traditional genres, creating a heady amalgamation of blues, soul, funk, rock, pop and country.  Her soulful, dynamic material is steeped in personal and provocative lyrical content and is served with an electric physical performance, world class musicianship and wry British repartee.  

Alice has spent the last few years on the stage of many of the UK's biggest rhythm and blues festivals.  She has now launched her own musical path with her amazingly talented 5-piece band featuring Ollie Knight-Smith (guitar), Kev Hickmann (drums), Josh Rigal (bass), Stevie Watts (piano) and Gemma Dorsett (backing vocals).  She has recently released a brand new album of original material entitled "Love, Sex & Death" following a run of single track releases.  

In 2023 she has headlined at Benicassim Blues Festival (Spain), Upton Blues Festival (UK), Uckfield Blues & Roots Festival (UK), Suceava Blues Festival (Rom) and The Great British Rhythm & Blues Festival (UK). A recent musical highlight was a personal invite from Joe Bonamassa for Alice to bring her band and perform on his "Keeping The Blues Alive" Cruise in August 2023.   

She is a much sought-after, super talented musician.
