Alice Russell - Live

Event information

Soundcrash are proud to welcome back the wonderful Alice Russell Live at Electric Ballroom.

Alice Russell is all pure natural talent, a musical force to be reckoned with. Whether on a big stage charming a crowd of 4000 into staying out dancing in the rain (as she did at Montreal Jazz Festival) or rocking out an intimate club set she’s a singer who demandsattention.

The recently released ‘To Dust’ album, sees Alice exploring every letter of the soul lexicon. From the Prince-esque strut of Hard And Strong to the epic intensity of the title track. Heartstring tugging I Loved You ; the sonically smooth yet emotionally raw Twin Peaks to the pulse-quickening build of Let Go (Breakdown) & psychedelic social consciousness of Citizens Alice is never less than scintillating as she displays emotions so real you feel you could reach out & touch them.

Alice has won over a whole host of producers – lending her strong, emotional tones to releases by Mr Scruff, Quantic, DJ Yoda and Nostalgia 77, the latter pairing producing the ‘Seven Nation Army’ cover that demolished clubs for years. But following her first release ‘Under The Munka Moon’ it’s her records with longtime producer and bandleader TM Juke that she’s best known for. From their debut album ‘My Favourite Letters’ through to 2008’s live-tinged ‘Pot Of Gold’, they have made some of the most arresting blues soul since the glory days of Aretha.

As much as she loves being in the studio there’s something special about Alice let loose on an audience. From performing with a full band and horn section, to pared down and more intimate sets, Alice Russell takes no prisoners!
