WINNER 2024 UK BLUES AWARD –
CONTEMPORARY BLUES ARTIST OF THE YEAR
An Alice
Armstrong show promises a soulful, genre-busting performance packed
with world class musicianship and wry British repartee. Her personal and
provocative content is heavily infused with soul, blues, funk, rock and jazz,
and is served with an enigmatic performance and audience interaction
reminiscent of the likes of B.B. King, Koko Taylor, Janis Joplin
and Tina Turner (with a touch of Maria Callas).
Armstrong has achieved a truly remarkable amount in
the last two years; She has performed and toured across Europe, strutted the
stages of some the biggest rhythm & blues festivals in both the UK and
mainland Europe to crowds of over 6,000 people, performed at legendary venues
such as the 100 Club and The Clapham Grand, reached the top 3
most-played list of the Independent Blues Broadcasters
Association and top 20 in Blues Matters Magazine,
been nominated for four different categories in the UK
Blues awards, performed at the 2023 Blues awards ceremony,
won Contemporary Blues Artist of the Year at the 2024 awards, and been
played on BBC Radio 2 by legendary musician and broadcaster Cerys Matthews,
who called Armstrong a ‘thing of wonder’.
An article in ERB Magazine says this of Armstrong: ‘She’s
a born entertainer, with a voice very few people could rival. If you can get to
one of her gigs, I would recommend going to hear what could easily be the voice
of a generation‘.
