Alice Armstrong - Soul & Blues

Alice Armstrong is an award-winning singer-songwriter and entertainer from Surrey, UK, known for her impressive vocal range, dynamic songwriting and unmatched stage presence.

In 2024 so far, Armstrong has been voted Contemporary Blues Artist of the Year at the UK Blues Awards, won the UK Blues Challenge, played sold out shows across the UK, been a guest on BBC Radio 2 with Cerys Matthews and is a common addition to Joe Bonamassa’s personal Spotify playlists. Her second EP, ‘Live at Area 88’ came out on the 14th June 2024.

Armstrong’s meteoric rise began as recently as January 2023 after releasing her debut single ‘Speed Dial’ (co-written with multi-award winning Matt Long). That year alone, Armstrong performed and toured across the UK and mainland Europe to crowds of over 6,000 people and at legendary venues such as the 100 Club, Marshall Records and The Clapham Grand. She reached the top 3 most-played list of the Independent Blues Broadcasters Association and top 20 in Blues Matters Magazine, was nominated for six different categories in the UK Blues awards and performed at the 2023 Blues awards ceremony, sponsored by Marshall.

Armstrong also released a debut 6 track EP ‘Love, Sex & Death’ and was invited to perform aboard Joe Bonamassa’s prestigious Keeping the Blues Alive Mediterranean Cruise. This runaway train of success has only continued in 2024.

Armstrong credits Aretha Franklin, B.B. King, Tina Turner, James Brown, Ella Fitzgerald, Etta James, Donnie Hathaway, Freddie King, Amy Winehouse, Janis Joplin and Dinah Washington to be just some of her musical influences, peppering her performances with her trademark sense of humour garnered from the likes of the Goon Show, French & Saunders and Monty Python.
