Courtyard Concert: The Alice Project
Time: 7:30pm.  Rain or Shine!
Alice Leon, leader and namesake of The Alice Project, is outspoken, funny… a master storyteller… and extremely honest.  She is a bright voice among the classic female singersongwriters of the post-Beatles era. Alice writes and sings the type of sharp, emotionally charged lyrics and readily accessible music that place her in direct lineage from Carole King and Carly Simon to the memorable melodies of Aimee Mann and the poetsmart lyrics of Jill Sobule and Suzanne Vega. With Alice at the helm, The Alice Project makes music you can hum. It’s intelligent, hooky rock ’n’ roll that unequivocally soothes the soul.
