So this post is long over due, but grammy nominee Alice Smith rocks. I heard so much about her, but had yet to experience her live bluesy, soulful performance until a few weeks ago at Weeksville. In Crown Heights Brooklyn, Folks brought their blankets, some food, and a listening ear for a free, small, on time concert by Alice Smith. It was awesome, satisfying and refreshing. She is graceful, humble, and powerful.
Last weekend on my way to the BAM festival in Brooklyn, I bumped into her in FT. Greene. She was so down to earth, a real homegirl. So from me to alice smith: you rock… musically and personally. I hope others follow your lead. Below are some pics from the event. For those who are unfamiliar, check out her performance on Jimmel Kimmel after the pics.
