ALICE SMITH IN CONCERT:
When it comes to the legendary voices of soul and R&B, singer-songwriter [do we want a slash or hyphen? Doesn’t matter to me, just want to make sure we have a consistent rule] Alice Smith is right up there with the best of them. Ms. Smith cuts a commanding figure on stage, and her formidable presence is only intensified by the broad, powerful swath [right word? Are you trying to emphasize the range? I guess that’s covered with broad… How about “by her powerful, far-ranging voice” or something?] of her voice. Whether she's covering Cee Lo Green's "Fool for You" or mesmerizing with originals like "Baby," fans can expect big, beautiful things from Smith on her 2014 tour.
BACKGROUND SNAPSHOT:
Raised splitting time between Washington, D.C. and a Georgia farm, Smith grew up immersed in gospel, soul, and R&B. An active singer while studying at Fordham University in New York, she made her album debut in 2006 with For Lovers, Dreamers, & Me, a nod to the line sung by Kermit in the Muppets' beloved 1979 song "Rainbow Connection." The album was a hit with critics, landing on Billboard's Heatseekers Albums chart and sparking extensive touring. After taking some time off to raise her daughter and relocate to Los Angeles, Smith made a triumphant return with 2013's She, a genre-spanning collection of songs that will feature heavily on her highly anticipated 2014 tour.
FANS WHO BOUGHT TICKETS SAY:
"Goosebumps. Chills. Soul. That was my experience with Ms. Smith. She was just amazing! I cannot WAIT to see her again!"
"She is absolutely the best live I have seen in over 10 years. She is a bit of Tina Turner, Mick Jagger, etc. An amazing performer who owns the stage and gives a wicked performance..."
"Amazing performance. I got way more than my money's worth. This woman is the ultimate performer. Engaging with a voice that engulfs your spirit and takes over you physically."

Alice is Life
by CZB1 on 4/15/15Bowery Ballroom - New YorkRating: 5 out of 5I was very fortunate to go to both nights of the concert at the Bowery Ballroom and both nights I was able to meet Alice, spend quality time with her and even attend an after party/dinner. She has been such an inspiration to my life so being able to spend face time with her and have her know my name and point me out in the crowd was literally the best thing that has happened to me since I moved to NYC. Alice and the staff at Bowery were more than accommodating to me. Thank you so much Alice, anytime you are in the city, I will be there front row!
Alice Smith is a must see!
by Brownsugarhoney on 4/15/15Bowery Ballroom - New YorkRating: 5 out of 5Alice Smith is a must see performer. Her albums don't do her voice justice. You already love what you hear on the album, then you hear her live and get blown away. She is a real person, who is down to earth, and who makes it feel like it is just you and her hanging while she sings you a few stories. Her songs are stories that anyone can relate to... Again, ALICE SMITH IS A MUST SEE LIVE! I went 2 nights in a row and it did not get old. If offered, I would have went to any and all shows featuring the incomparable Alice Smith!
One word: YES!!
by SpedTchrCHS on 4/15/15Bowery Ballroom - New YorkRating: 5 out of 5As usual, Alice Smith did not disappoint. She has an amazing voice, a wonderful stage presence, and she was wearing that dress! I love how she interacts with the audience and makes us feel like we're just hanging out.

Alice Smith is the Truth!
by BNy27 on 7/9/14Bowery - New YorkRating: 5 out of 5This is the second time I've seen Alice Smith at the Bowery in NYC and WOW. Not only is Alice talented beyond imagination, she never fails to make sure that you're in the song with her. She's like a secret treasure in a world full of noise. AMAZING! Every time she's in concert - I WILL BE THERE! Even the opening act was great! Many props to her as well. You can tell Alice inspires her too!
Alice is incredible!
by WhipNYC on 7/5/14Bowery Ballroom - New YorkRating: 5 out of 5That voice just sucks you in! Great show, not a ton high energy stuff but her singing had me not caring about anything. They did an awesome cover of Fleetwood Macs Dreams (thunder only happens when it raining).

Everyone Needs to Know Alice Smith
by KC828 on 7/3/14Bowery Ballroom - New YorkRating: 5 out of 5Alice Smith always brings her A-game! This woman's voice is incredibly powerful, and she delivers her music with passion, humor, with a strong dose of sex-appeal. Her set was a little less than two hours (following an opening set by the AMAZING Kimberly Nichole), and included about half the songs from her "She" album, a few songs from " For Lovers, Dreamers & Me," and few covers (including Fleetwood Mac's "Dreams").
Alice Smith is the TRUTH!

Alice Smith has the best female voice in the music industry today
The Voice!!
by Ssmall75 on 7/2/14Music Hall of Williamsburg - BrooklynRating: 5 out of 5There's only one word to describe Alice Smith; phenomenal!!! Her voice is unlike anything I've ever heard, her stage presence commands your attention. You will be left wondering how that thundering voice could come from such a petite woman. If you have never experienced Alice Smith live, you haven't really experienced live music in its purest, rawest form.
