Performed by Alice Marie
Alice Marie is a Philadelphia-based vocalist, multi-instrumentalist, and music educator. While touring, Marie could not help but notice the male-dominated nature of the music scene; one that often shuns female leadership. Thus, she launched #CelebrateFemaleArtists as a collaborative Social Media/Performance movement in 2017, in order to give female writers and performers their rightly-deserved homage and tribute to a strong female presence ON and OFF-stage.
Marie is dedicated to recognizing the female chanteuse, bandleader, instrumentalist, improviser, rockstar, composer, and all-around creative genius. She performs and samples many classics: from Ella Fitzgerald, Rita Hayworth, Carole King, Bonnie Raitt, and Omaha Portuondo’s masterful catalogues, to legendary fiddlers, Eileen Eivers and Regina Carter’s soulful riffs…and many more female front-women of fancy. Nowadays, there can never be quite enough GIRL POWER, and Alice Marie is here to bring it to you.
