Alice Smith was great! Her voice blew everyone away!

ALICE SMITH IS AN AMAZING PERFORMER AND HER VOICE CAN'T BE COMPARED!

Best vocalist you could possibly see live! She is amazing and I would recommend seeing Alice live as many times as you could. She is a joy to watch.

Alice Smith vocals are out of this world - happy to see her live

Alice Smith is a soulful, rock goddess. She is as captivating as a bashful angel, and yet, her voice, as gritty and unapologetic as your favorite Southern Auntie. She wails and holds like a trumpeter. And, you love her. She is honest and approachable. You are happy to know her; that she exists, like some hybrid of Shirley Bassey and Stevie Nicks. Alice Smith is unrestrained, easy does it, strong, and delicate, a lava- like firey grace. It is an incredible show with and incredible 3 piece. Trust me. Oh! Mrs. Smith...

The show was great. Alice is such a great artist with amazing energy. Her voice is unbelievable!!!!

Alice is simply amazing. I am looking forward to the time when I get to say "I saw Alice in Boston before she blew up". She is a STAR!

Alice's musical and stage presence continues to grow professionally.

Alice Smith's performance is void of pomp and filled with unfiltered talent. The 3-piece band lends just the right amount of support to Alice's superior vocals.

Alice Smiths voice, energy, is so amazily beautiful!!! After seeing her live I'm a fan for life. Must go see her live and you too will love. She isn't a new artist, this is her second album, but she needs to win best new artist of the year, unquestionably she deserves that. Nobody is doing what she does!!!

Alice has an amazing voice and I love her energy and playfulness!! I will see her every time she comes to town.

Ticket master review If you have never been to an Alice Smith concert you are missing the experience of a lifetime. When you attend one of her concerts it feels like you have a front row seat to a dawn of something special. You will feel like you are being treated to the caliber of veteran talent that was much more common place in the jazz and rock and roll eras of old, yet you feel a splash of a new movement afloat, where Smith is offering you a glimpse at something you have never before seen or heard. You may have enjoyed her tasty gumbo of pop, folk, rock, country, reggae, soul and r&b on her record, but to truly appreciate Alice Smith is to see her on stage. I was privileged to see Alice Smith both nights June 20th and June 21st at Howard University. This was the second and third concert of hers that I attended and I have to say that all three shows have left me convinced that Alice Smith puts on the best concert you may see in your lifetime. Full disclosure, I have been to a ton of concerts, including Anita Baker, Sade, Maxwell, Jill Scott, and I still believe that Ms. Smith is the best concert experience that I ever have had to date. From the second her tall bronze body appeared on stage, clad in a British style haute couture gown with elaborate embellishments around the hip area, she had Howard University eating out of the palm of her hand. Alice started the show with the peppy brit rock anthem "Won't Break". She then led a rousing rendition of "Gary's Song". Her voice manages to be equal parts raw and pitch perfect, and she had no problem filling the Howard with her massive 4 octave voice. Being in the front row for the first night was an incredible treat. With that view, you are able to witness the impressive way that her facial expressions and body language along with her movements which are sometimes spastic and quirky other times fluid and elegant, work in concert with her powerful voice to deliver a total entertainment experience. Tom Lubay on guitar, Aaron Steel on the drums, and Frank Carreno on bass congregate behind Alice to produce a tight crisp sound that is the perfect meld of r&b, rock, soul, reggae, jazz, and folk in a way you never imagine. Her call and response with the band and they way she gives and takes with them exchanging melodic verses with their intricate instrumental melodies indicates a fluidity that shows that they have been playing together for a long time and they enjoy it. Smith is smokey and dramatic, with an amazing new cover of Fleetwood Mac's Dreams, with a hypnotic bass line played by Carreno. Smith's voice provides a canvas of yearning, pain, and redemption all at the same time. And yet, she also knows how to bring the crowd to their feet and party. With Love Endeavor , she encourages the audience to get out of their seats, for their "grand opportunity" because the show is winding down to its conclusion. In her shimmery dress and heels, Smith is unafraid to dance, her spastic, frenetic movements fully emoting the desire for a romantic entanglement that doesn't have to last forever while Lubay wails endlessly on his guitar. You never want her to stop during this rousing number, and you think she indeed has stopped, and your heart aches for a minute until you realize that she can be enticed back for one last song, the title track on the album She. For She, the encore performance, she begins the song with a mild chant which turns into a ferocious roar where you truly learn why she can accurately call herself "she", in a song that personifies the struggles that she had with the music industry before finally being able to make music her way. She screams, wails, croons, and rocks in this song, before head banging and ending it all in a folky roar. You can sense the exhaustion in her goodbye, and you know that Alice Smith has lain bare all that she has to offer you as a performer, and treated you to the most amazing concert experience of your life. How did Friday differ from Saturday? I experienced all of the above. Yet Saturday had a more relaxed cool, and it was perfect in its imperfections. For example, Alice brought back a fan favorite, that she has not been including in her recent set lists, "Do I". She plowed through the track with reckless abandon, pulling in all her rock, folk, soul, and reggae sensibilities, while the true fans in the audience were aware that Smith flubbed the first verse, as Smith smiled and winked knowingly at them. However, her voice was so uniquely beautiful- aquiline , yet tortured that no one noticed, or cared whether all the lyrics were perfect, everyone was in tune to the emotion of what she was singing at that moment- with a voice like Smith's sometimes the words don't matter at all. Alice gave so much of herself on Saturday evening, that during Dream, which was left out of Friday's set, but brought back into the concert on Saturday, that she popped a button on her gown. I believe the majority of the audience thought this was a joke, when she mentioned that she thought she "popped a button". At least I thought she was jesting. Shortly thereafter she treated us to the most beautiful soulful, rocky, folky introduction to a song that I have ever heard with the beginning of the song, The One. I noticed spastic quirky hip gyrations during this introduction. I thought her hip gyrations were funny and adorable and typical Alice when she crooned sultrily, "I'll be right back," I had no idea that she was backstage probably getting the dress stitched back up. But a few songs later, when she came out for the She encore, she ended up holding up her dress, with both hands so it didn't fall, while still singing and giving the crowd her all. As mentioned at the outset I have been to lots of concerts and have never seen a diva sing so hard that she literally sang herself out of her dress. It feels like one of those moments that may have occurred with a legend like Patti Labelle or Diana Ross at some hole in the wall club before they were famous, but this is Alice Smith, the dawn of a new era with a twist of the old and you are at the Howard theater poised to watch Smith on her ascendancy to greatness. Take a front row seat and know that there is no concert that is more important to be at. I will never miss an Alice Smith show when she comes to my area and neither should you.

Alice Smith @ the Howard Theater was Amazing. She was on fire! She is a diva in the best seance of the word. A songstress for the decades. Akua Allrich was an phenomenal opening act and wonderful compliment to Alice as well.

Alice is an old soul in a young woman's body!! She moves you in your soul! Perfect venue to experience her music! She is a TRUE ARTIST!! Can't wait till she comes back to the DMV!!!

Alice Smith was AWESOME! She gave a great show. I will see her any day of the week.

Alice Smith is always a joy to see. There was high energy at the Howard Saturday night. We have seen Alice Smith many times in DC and NY but his was one of the best shows. (Joes Pub also) The Howard has greatly improved since the early days after it reopened. The staff was great and very attentive. All in all a great evening

Amazing artist and great performance! I will see her again.

Alice Smith was exceptional and her opening act, Akua Allrich was amazing as well. So much energy and soul. Alice have me Amy Winehouse and rocked it out.

She was amazing!! That phrase doesn't do her justice. She killed it on every song. The best show I've seen in a long time.
