Music at The MiTCH feat. Alice Terry

Dubbed 'Sydney's First Lady of Blues' , Alice Terry is a powerhouse vocalist, songwriter and

magnetic live performer whose extraordinary voice, wicked sense of humour and raw

emotional honesty have earned her a reputation as one of Australia's most compelling blues

and soul artists.

Nominated for Live Voice of the Year at the National Live Music Awards, Terry has spent

over two decades performing across Australia and internationally. Equally at home

commanding festival main stages with her all-star 10-piece band or holding a room

spellbound with an intimate solo performance, she brings an unmistakable combination of

grit, vulnerability and razor-sharp wit to every show.

Her career has seen her perform alongside Tina Arena, Matt Corby, Allen Stone, James

Morrison, Beth Hart, St Paul & the Broken Bones, Thirsty Merc and The Waifs. In 2019, she

toured extensively throughout Australia and New Zealand as a backing vocalist for Matt

Corby, including appearances at Splendour in the Grass, Falls Festival and Party in the

Paddock, before touring New Zealand with Ben Harper in early 2020.

Her festival appearances include Sydney Festival's Main Stage, Woodford Folk Festival,

Narooma Blues and Rockabilly Festival, Moruya Jazz Festival and Thredbo Blues Festival.

Terry's debut single, Emotion, reached number one on the iTunes Blues Charts within hours

of its release, followed by sold-out launch shows. Her debut album, The Fear of, established

her as a distinctive songwriter, while her longstanding collaboration with acclaimed bassist

and Thirsty Merc founding member Phil Stack reflects the musical versatility at the heart of

her work.

Onstage, Terry's tongue is firmly planted in her cheek as she delivers cutting one-liners

between songs that unflinchingly examine her life, psyche and the human condition. Her

performances are equal parts confession, comedy and catharsis, leaving audiences both

thoroughly entertained and unexpectedly moved.

"The real deal." — Beth Hart

"Alice Terry is an undeniable combination of old-school chanteuse and the grit of Janis

Joplin." — The Music
