Jace Media (by Tim Marcus)

"To say that I was completely blown away as she kicked her set off this evening would probably be a huge understatement. Based on what I’ve heard this evening and the quality of musicians who are so happy to perform with her, I’m convinced that Alice will make it to the very top… For me, it’s not just the quality of her voice; it’s the absolute versatility of it. Imagine the sounds of Maria Callas, Aretha Franklin and Janis Joplin all coming from the same person. That to me is Alice Armstrong and that to me is what makes her so good.“

ERB Magazine (by Bea Burridge)

"Something that is undeniable about Alice Armstrong is the sheer power in her voice… Often likened to Janis Joplin, (she) is guaranteed to give you goosebumps… When you go to an Alice Armstrong gig, expect to laugh, cry and everything in between; she’s a born entertainer with a voice that very few people could rival, if you can get to one of her gigs, I would recommed going to hear what could easily be the voice of a generation.“

“Armstrong (gives) a masterclass in Blues performance, with buckets of Soul to spare…. An unforgettable evening of live music… brimming with talent and passion. Armstrong in particular, proved herself to be a powerhouse and genuine performer, backed by a band that was equally remarkable.”
