About

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 Brings Wonderland!!

    by LBunny on 4/12/13Bowery Ballroom - New YorkRating: 5 out of 5

    Fans have been waiting years for the return of Alice Smith. And she knew that. Which is why she gave us exactly what we came to see... a SHOW! Even before the moment she slinked on the stage in a form-fitting leopard-printed dress, Smith announced her entrance in song, working the masses -- which included actress (and Diana Ross offspring!) Tracee Ellis Ross -- into a frenzy. For the next hour and a half, she blended her knack for crafting great songs with a powerhouse voice and a commanding stage presence that both wowed and woke up those of us who endured the 10 PM start time and the lackluster opening act. With a healthy dose of tracks from her debut album "For Lovers, Dreamers & Me" and her newest release "She", we were given our old faves and soon to be new ones. Then she was joined onstage by her husband, Citizen Cope, for a cover of Prince's classic "Pop Life" and the crowd literally went wild. If Alice Smith is coming to your town, do yourself a favor and go see her. Seriously. And get plenty of sleep beforehand, because you won't be able to once she's done with you. You'll be haunted by her performance throughout the night and into the next day. She's just THAT amazing!!

  • Magnificent!

    by Brownsugarhoney on 4/12/13Bowery Ballroom - New YorkRating: 5 out of 5

    Magnificent is the only word to describe Alice Smith's performance. I became a fan a little late in the game. I started going to her concerts when she was with child and I thought she was great. This was my 6th time seeing her and needless to say I was blown away by the pureness of her voice, stage presence, and fashion. She was all glamour that night and EVERYONE LOVED IT! She practically did all the new songs on her new album, SHE, and some old ones- without breaking a sweat. She is a force to be reckoned with. Watch out world! If you are skeptical, buy her album and check her out live!

  • UNREAL- You must see to believe!!!

    by likestojam on 4/12/13Bowery Ballroom - New YorkRating: 5 out of 5

    She might be one of the most gifted singer/entertainers I've ever witnessed live. Take Aretha, Prince, Stevie Wonder, Beyonce, Alicia Keys and throw them in a blender and you might get a sense of how Alice Smith moves, sounds, croons, etc. She's got soul, style , and simply lights up the room and it never dims. It is a MUST SEE, period.

  • Alice Smith was great!

    by JMMNYC on 4/12/13Bowery Ballroom - New YorkRating: 4 out of 5

    Alice was of course great. If you're going to The Bowery, pick a spot on the second level for prime viewing.

  • by Anonymous on 4/11/13Brighton Music Hall - BostonRating: 5 out of 5

    Alice Smith was FREAKIN' FANTASTIC. No CD recording can compare to her LIVE performance! btw, got the latest album, SHE, there :)

  • Alice Smith was Amazing!

    by MaraJL on 4/11/13Brighton Music Hall - BostonRating: 5 out of 5

    Alice Smith was absolutely fantastic at the Brighton Music Hall! Her voice was stunning and she has great charisma and stage presence. The audience was completely captivated by her. What an amazing small show! I can't wait to see her again.

  • Alice is unforgettable

    by CEMK on 4/24/12Howard Theatre - WashingtonRating: 5 out of 5

    Alice brought just a drummer, a keyboardist and her pencil skirt -- and the three of them blew the room up. Gorgeous voice, barn-storming cover of Cee-Lo's "Fool for You" and some great new material. Seriously, don't miss her.

  • Beautiful Voice in a Beautiful Venue

    by KJStJ on 4/23/12Howard Theatre - WashingtonRating: 5 out of 5

    I've been an Alice Smith fan since she released For Lover, Dreamers & Me -- and was lucky enough to see her in concert at The Birchmere a couple of years ago. I was so looking forward to seeing here again, and esp. since it would be at The Howard Theatre. Neither Alice Smith, or the venue, disappointed me at all. Her voice is so strong and natural it should be illegal. Her stage presence and personality is phenomenal...and you can't help but have a great time at her concerts.

  • Proud Uncle

    by DonWat on 4/22/12Howard Theatre - WashingtonRating: 5 out of 5

    Alice has progressed by leaps & bounds in stage decorum, musical presentation, and total professionalism. Her voice management and body movements were effectively used in interpreting the distinct message of each song, from moments of emotional intensity to seductive tenderness. I was amazed by the vocal power coming from such a slender body. She demonstrated a performer not at work but enjoying her artistry to the fullest while ushering you, her audience, into her world. What a joy is was listening to a current-day singer whose pitch was unmistakably accurate. This was one of the proudest moments of my life.

  • by thisisonlyatest on 4/21/12Howard Theatre - WashingtonRating: 5 out of 5

    Alice Smith sounds better than ever! Announced that she has plans to release an EP this summer and the new music that she sang was great, even better (if that's possible) than her first album.

  • Alice Smith is always so entertaining!

    by maisn on 4/21/12Howard Theatre - WashingtonRating: 5 out of 5

    I enjoy Alice's music and really, really hope that she comes out with a new album soon. We have been waiting for a while... but know it'll be a treat once it does arrive. Howard Theatre is a beautiful venue.. just wish it wasn't general admission seating, but rather that you choose your seating when you purchase your ticket. Venue location, decor and staff professionalism is awesome! Also, bread pudding was fabulous!
