Alice Armstrong is an award-winning singer-songwriter and entertainer from Surrey, UK, known for her impressive vocal range, dynamic song writing and unmatched stage presence.
Armstrong was voted Contemporary Blues Artist of the Year at the UK Blues Awards in 2024, and represented Britain in the International Blues Challenge in Memphis. She was a guest of Cerys Matthews on BBC Radio 2's Blues Show. Her second EP, Live at Area 88 was released on in June 2024.
Armstrong’s meteoric rise began as recently as 2023 after releasing her debut single Speed Dial (co-written with the late Matt Long). She has performed across the UK and Europe, playing to crowds of over 6,000 people, and at legendary venues including 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 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.
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 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.
