In the heart of Minneapolis, Alice Peacock mesmerized an audience with her emotional lyrics and angelic voice. On July 15th, a serene music experience filled the Fine Line Music Café as people began to fill the dimly lit tables, and the pink and green lighting ignited the stage. Alice had a casual, calm presence onstage, which complimented her riveting performance. During our interview before the show, Alice described her music as “very personal” and discussed how she had “always been writing music as a child.” Her songs are about relationships, not just romantic relationships, but relationships with friends, family, and herself. The new album “Who I Am” is about her journey to discover who she is, and this is something we can all relate to. “People connect to music” and during the Fine Line show, Alice’s music was truly reaching out to her listeners.
Alice performed a variety of songs from her new and previous albums. This included “Taught Me Well,” “Time,” and “Finding My Way Back.” With each song, she not only filled the stage with her powerful, slightly country-sounding vocals but with the soft sound of her guitar and her smooth keyboarding skills. A friend, Peter Bradley Adams also accompanied Alice on a few songs, as well as performing a couple of his own. During the evening, she awed the audience with “Sunflower,” which written for the movie “Because of Winn-Dixie.”
The relaxing evening received great responses from the crowd. A young girl dancing under the exit sign and tables erupting with applause were only the beginning. It was obvious that she truly did love touring and playing in front of an audience. She finished the evening with “Don’t Need No Ticket,” a Curtis Nathan song. Earlier, Alice had said that people connect to music, and that’s exactly what her music had done.
