South African singer-songwriter Alice Phoebe Lou will play Dublin venue, The Workman’s Club, on May 18.

Having developed her bluesy folk sound busking on the streets of Berlin, Alice has caught the ears of a community of music lovers the world over with her honest storytelling and raw, beautiful voice.

2016 will see the world-travelled folkster release her first studio album. Orbit comprises nine jazz-influenced, eclectic tracks recorded between Cape Town and Berlin that encapsulate the freshness of her live style, vagabond spirit and distinctive soprano voice.

Produced by Matteo and Kyson, the album is a testament to Alice’s collaborative way of writing and features musicians from South Africa and Europe lending their musical skills and different visual artists producing art works to match each track. The result is an intricately woven pattern of soul, blues and jazz that is scattered with retro beatnik melodies, soothing vocal harmonies and sleazy brass flourishes.

Tickets priced €13 (inc booking fee) go on sale this Friday (April 1) at 9am through the usual outlets.
