"Alice has an excellent ear, powerful projection, great intonation, wonderful stage presence. SUPERB! SPLENDID!!" Carleen Anderson
With the music industry in an uncertain and ever changing climate, commercial music is crying out for an artist blessed with a little honesty; able to imbue music with real, raw emotion and sincerity. In short, an artist unafraid of the personal touch.
Alice Shaw is that artist.
Hailing originally from Bristol, Alice relocated to Brighton in 2002. Along with backing vocalists Amy Tinsley and Jo Wallace, Alice headed boldly out into the buzzing live circuit with a piano led collection of classy songs, quickly becoming a firm favourite among the town’s more discerning gig-goers.
In early 2007 Alice signed a global publishing deal with Sony/ATV Music who recognised her songwriting talent immediately and funded the recording of her debut album ‘Reasons I Can’t Speak’, which was completed in London's 2khz Studios with renowned producer Ian Grimble. ‘Reason I Can’t Speak,’ is 11 passionate anthems of love & loss, rejection & personal awakening; bold musical arrangements perfectly compliment Alice’s soaring vocals and heartfelt lyrics. The overall result is a cohesive work of striking originality and real beauty.
As well as her solo music Alice also plays and sings with singer songwriters such as Emily Baker, Dorie Jackson, Amy Tinsley and Abbo, and enjoys on going studio and television session work.
"In a time when money is being thrown at the mediocre, it's great to find someone so young, gifted and broke! That's where true talent is born." Ian Grimble
Hi there. Firstly thanks a million to those from the UK who came and
checked out some of my stuff (on my myspace site) from my new acoustic
album(due anytime this year) over the last few days, it was great to
see so many plays. I would just like to let you all know UKwide, I am
still looking for Venues to play, and or support slots, TV, and
festival slots when I return from early April-November ( a small trip
to France is Planned for some festivals and more, mid July-Mid August)
then come November off around the Globe again with my acoustic and a
few additions.
For now, because of the great response I have had over the last few
days I have(For A Limited Time) put some extra tracks on my site as
more of a teaser (including a very different take on a Classic song by
"The Beatles" a cover of a Christina Aguilera favorite, and a cover of
a Zutons tune made more well known by Miss Winhouse and Mark Ronson)
Get there quick to steal them(if thats your thing) as they may not be there for long
All enquiries for the purchase of my acoustic album entitled "Room to
Move" will be dealt with in a very personal Manner (just message me for
details)
Enjoy the Music, and take good care all. Much love, and see some of you soon. abbo
PS. If any of you can offer me gigs or good contacts in your own
country for future bookings Just let me know. nowhere is too far, I
have already visited and played in New York, Paris, London, Dubai,
Doha, Beruit, Sydney, Manila to mention but a few places. Cheerio!
Im coming back UK way soon after travelling with my acoustic across the
Globe. Looking to get some gigs, if anyone is up for helping. Have a
couple of tracks on my site from my new acoustic album(the covers are
just a bonus) recorded in the suburbs of Metro Manila. Many stories to
tell, but trying to get my diary filled before I leave the Phillipines.
Email me for more details. (I travel far and wide so don't worry if you
are out in the sticks I will come to play if you like live music. could
end up being a great little UK tour) take good care all. Much love, abbo
