Join us to celebrate Earth Day with an outstanding indie act from Oregon
Alice Di Micele Band
"(Alice has) earthiness & groove...She's for real" - Bonnie Raitt

From Oregon on tour comes this astounding "folk groove acoustic soul" indie
act with a profoundly green message. Boasting a 5-octave range, Alice
DiMicele sings about many environmental issues from Salmon to forest
activism and is known for such popular anthems as "Defend the Earth". She
has had a prodigious independent musical career selling over 25,000 CDs and
sharing the stage with folks like Bonnie Raitt, Joan Baez, Arlo Guthrie,
Janis Ian, David Grisman, Ani DiFranco, Steve Winwood and Michael Franti.
She has also performed with Grateful Dead drummer Bill Kreutzman,
multi-instrumentalist Joe Craven and many more.

Di Micele has been known to turn a noisy bar silent within a few notes. Her
warm presence and humor disarm and create a rare intimacy between audience and performer. Whether singing a jazzy-folk number, belting a sassy blues,
or rocking out on one of her trademark rhythmic earthy grooves, Alice is a
vocalist that moves people. A head-turning guitarist as well, whether
playing solo or with a band her acoustic guitar conjures percussive
poly-rhythms, bass lines, and melodies that perfectly frame her vocals. Di
Micele's strongest influences come from Kate Wolf, Odetta, Abbey Lincoln and
Steve Wonder.

Her band is known to tap top notch musicians including some we've seen on
the SGVCC outdoor stage -- so expect an incredible and intimate night of
music!
