Alice Russell
With a lavishly soulful voice that is both timeless and yet of its time, Alice Russell is gaining an enviable reputation as one of the hottest singers in the UK. Citing such golden voices as Minnie Ripperton, Eva Cassidy, Stevie Wonder, Chaka Khan, Aretha Franklin as well as Jill Scott as her primary influences, Russell’s style encompasses everything from funk to gospel to jazz and beyond. Live, she is full of self-assurance and sass – this gig is sure to raise the hairs on the back of your neck.
