About the show

In Session presents Alice Armstrong, multi award winning contemporary blues artist with an electrifying live show, world class band and powerful R&B vocals.

Armstrong’s unforgettable R&B style combines modern sounds and sentiment with traditional roots genres, earning her the title of Contemporary Artist of the Year in both the 2024 and 2025 UK Blues Awards and regular plays on BBC Radio 2.

Armstrong won the 2024 UK Blues Challenge and the 2025 European Blues Challenge, triumphing over 22 other countries. She and her band have performed live at BBC Maida Vale Studios and appeared twice on Cerys Matthews’ BBC Radio 2 show. Armstrong’s releases frequently appear in the IBBA’s Most Played list and on Joe Bonamassa’s Spotify playlists, following her performance aboard his iconic Mediterranean Blues Cruise III.

“Alice Armstrong has one of the most emotional and far-ranging vocals, such a sweet and melodic voice, that, in an instant, she can blow the horns off the devil himself… Seeing Alice and her band performing live is one of life’s great pleasures” – Blues Matters Magazine

’Prodigiously talented … Armstrong’s voice set the hairs on the back of my neck at full attention – I cannot remember the last time I heard such a purity of tone and a depth or range in a youngster’ - Music-News.com ‘Really loving that vocal!‘ - Craig Charles 'Nice pipes, Miss Armstrong' - Phill Jupitus Anyone who has heard Alice Armstrong live will tell you that few can match her diversity, stage presence and range. Previous works with bands such as Crossfire and a co-written album with the Stevie Watts Organ Trio has seen her in the top 20 IBBA albums of 2020 and secured multiple nominations at the 2021 UK Blues Awards, including 'Emerging Artist' and 'Band of the Year'. Alice started 2022 with bang with a sold out launch gig of her6 piece band at the Tuesday Night Music Club, creating a new acoustic duo with multi-award winning musician Matt Long (Catfish, Matt Long & the Revenant Ones) and being nominated for the UK Blues Awards Vocalist of the Year. Venerable, red-raw lyrics are delivered in a constantly evolving, sultry blend of Soul, Blues, R&B, Rock and Funk, peppered with a wry sense of humour. Likened to both Amy Winehouse and Janis Joplin, Alice draws her inspiration from artists such as Aretha Franklin, Dinah Washington, Ray Lamontagne & BB King.
