Dubbed 'Sydney's first lady of blues'- Alice Terry has the kind of voice you can't ignore.Powerful and emotive- gritty and intense- Alice Terry's vocals evoke classic singers like Janis Joplin - the kind of singers who leave it all out on the stage.Alice began singing the blues at seventeen- quickly being booked for gigs like Narooma Blues- Thredbo Blues and Moruya Jazz Festivals. She released her debut single 'Emotion' and debut LP 'The Fear Of' in 2018- both of which immediately charted in the top five of the iTunes blues charts.In the wake of great notices for her debut- Terry has supported acts like Allen Stone- Beth Hart- Matt Corby- The Waifs and Thirsty Merc- and continues to tour with Matt Corby as part of his band.Each of the acts above contain elements of a mixture of styles Terry calls her own - folk- country and blues stewed together to create an individual feel.
