This February, South African ALICE PHOEBE LOU returns to the country for 3 shows! ALICE has been developing her bluesy, folk sound busking on the streets of Berlin and she has caught the ears of a community of music lovers the world over with her honest storytelling and raw, beautiful voice. Growing up on a mountainside, she left South Africa with no money and started busking on the streets of Berlin. She was invited to perform at TEDx Berlin, of which her performance went viral and received almost half a million views. ALICE released her new album, ORBIT last year in Europe, which charted at #2 on the German iTunes singer/songwriter charts and at #1 on the Austrian singer/songwriter charts. In September she was also nominated for Best Female Artist at the German Critics Choice Awards (Popkultur Awards).
