"Alice's music has that great
combination of earthiness and groove that keeps it
funky from the inside out. She's for real."

Bonnie Raitt |
"Alice DiMicele has 'that thing' that every other singer wants...that mix of amazing technique and dirty grit that will put you in that magic place right between crying and laughing. She's a waterfall of soul!"
|
Sid Lewis, Founder of Acoustic College and Jamming 101 seminars
|
"Di Micele's voice is a high
performance instrument that powers finely tuned songwriting
like no other instrument could. This CD [Demons & Angels]
could stand on the strength of that powerful, bluesy
voice alone, but because of the quality of the songwriting,
this stuff would sound great even if Bob Dylan sang
it. Ouch!"

The Rocket,
Seattle, WA |
"The Oregon based folk singer-guitarist's
octave-leaping voice recalls Rory Block's in it's gorgeous
elasticity and Tracy Chapman's in it's warm resonance...'Naked'
is highly recommended..."
|
Lee Hildebrand, East Bay
Express, Berkeley, CA |
"Alice is powerful. Her writing and performance asks politely for your attention, then takes the listener to a deeper, thoughtful place."
|
Caroline Aiken |
"A one-woman dance machine, Alice gets you all over, as cerebral as boogiefied, as in the gut as spiritual. While making no concessions, her music offends none. Makes us think but always in the good way."
|
Craig Wright (Cast of Clowns, Horsefeathers, Elijah) |
"...testament to the not-so-simple
art of songwriting and tasteful performance...with
warmth, purpose and a lot of guts."

Nevada City, CA |
"This lady's no shrinking
violet... a talent noteworthy in the extreme."
|
Rock 'n Reel, UK |
"Di Micele's voice is a big
supple instrument that can take a lyric from breathy
intimacy to funky scat to lilting lyricism and back
again in a few bars."
|
Bill Varble, Mail Tribune,
Medford, OR |
"...incredible vocal range,
amazing control and crystal clear delivery...one of

"Alice Di Micele grabs a
crowd and holds them in her musical spell. Her vocal
mastery and clean, strong guitar work are truly an
inspiration. Alice rocks!"
|
Joules Graves |
"Di Micele's voice...weeps
the blues, drives funk, rolls rock, and scats jazz,
sometimes all in one song. She twists notes, jumps
on them, smokes them, and they issue from her mouth
like curvy ribbons that flow deep from her heart."
|
Currents Magazine |
"One of the Northwest's
finest folk artists."
|
Southern Willamette Alliance,
Eugene, OR |
"Alice Di Micele has a dynamism
to her delivery not always associated with folk music.
Not only does she back up her powerful voice with heartfelt
conviction in every word, but her guitar ability is
fast setting her apart from the sea of folk artists
whose repertoire consists mostly of strumming."
|
Kip Ward, Good Times, Santa
Cruz, CA |
"...deep velvet voice...
and lyrics rooted in nature and healing ourselves and
our Mother Earth... can melt you, exhilarate you, and
move you to dance and tears..."

a clear, strong voice given to octave leaps..."

writer..."

and triumphant songs of healing and survival, taking
the common notion of folk music into original and compelling
territory..."
|
Michael Pickett, the North
Columbia Monthly, Colville, WA |
"Acoustic music doen't get
any better than this -- highly recommended!"
|
Ladyslipper Catalog |
"Insightful political tunes
that flow with grace and run deep with her convictions,
topped off with a humor and charisma that bridges the
gap between performer and audience in an effortless
instant."
|
Good Times, Santa Cruz,
CA |
"Her huge, throaty voice
echoed off the hills surrounding the amphitheatre,
carrying her message of survival and triumph over personal
and global evils....an amazing instrument..."
|
Jonel Aleccia, Mail Tribune,

performer. This reviewer couldn't think of a better
way to spend an evening."
