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
