Demons And Angels

Review Oregon Based Alice Di Micele has proven herself one of the most promising singer/songwriter talents to emerge from America in recent years. A strong gutsy voice with buckets of attitude and confidence she must be one of the US's best kept musical secrets and "Demons & Angels" confirms her chosen path. "Spirit of the River" highlights her strong deep vocals while the compassionate "Find It There" shows a gentler more sensitive side. Ranging from radio rock through acoustic folk and bluegrass to Shelly Phillips's celtic harp on "Angel" and "Alive, Awake" she paints a multi-hewed canvas of sharp incisive lyrics delivered with passion, guts and commitment. "Demons & Angels" proves that Alice Di Micele has ace cards where others have perished....superb. -- by John O'Regan, Rock N' Reel, UK Product Description "Demons & Angels" mixes many musical influences and styles and could best be described as alternative folk/rock. With a great backup band including drummer Janelle Burdell (D'Cuckoo), bassist Bobby Vega (Zero), singer/violist Freyda Epstein (Trapezoid), Shelley Phillips on Irish Harp and Whistle, June Millington (Fanny) on electric guitar, bazouki and mandolin, Steve Hesh on dobro, and host of other guests on banjo, fiddle, and vocals this album rocks out and also takes the listener to the quiet corners of the soul.
