Biography
In 2008, Alice Stuart was again honored by the Washington Blues Society. She was given two awards this year: Best Solo/Duo performer and a Lifetime Achievement award. These awards came on the heels of Alice's appearance at the International Blues Competition in Memphis, Tennessee.
Alice Stuart has been a solo performer since she first took to the stage at Seattle's Pamir House in 1961. Her first professional appearance was at the Seattle World's Fair in early 1962.
By 1964, when Alice was asked to perform at the Berkeley Folk Festival, Alice's repertoire was already very diverse and included Appalachian folk ballads, country songs, and rural Blues. She played autoharp, banjo, and guitar.
Her first record "All The Good Times" (Arhoolie Records 1964) was re-released in 2002. It contained 7 songs hat were previously unreleased. This album demonstrates the breadth of Alice Stuart's musical tastes and abilities. The album contains 21 songs, including the self-penned ballad, "Once I Had A Sweetheart".
Today, Alice Stuart in a solo performance is a reflection of her entire career. Part folkie, part rocker, and part blues woman, Alice is all entertainer when she "unplugs" for a solo show.
Alice was one of the first women of rock to front her own band, write her own songs, and sing and play electric lead guitar. Many of Alice's fans still like her best as a solo acoustic performer, where her shy humor shines and her song interpretations and her song writing ability are well displayed.
Alice has that rare ability to make any song her own. Two songs that aptly demonstrate this ability are Statesboro Blues (Willie McTell) and I Feel Like Hank Williams Tonight (Chris Wall) On Statesboro Blues, Alice's guitar skills are on full display and when she sings "Hank" there is seldom a dry eye in the house.
Lots of people have asked where has Alice been, after they discover her.
Here is a partial list:
The Berkeley Folk Festial (1964, '66 & '68)
The Sky River Rock Festval (l968 & '69)

WHERE DID YOU MEET ALICE?
Welcome to the gathering of worldwide fans of Alice Stuart.
Alice Stuart, folk singer, decided to become Alice Stuart, electric guitar player, during the several months she spent in the Frank Zappa blues band.
To this day, Alice’s fans are divided into two camps: her electric fans and her folk fans.
But not unlike Bob Dylan, Alice Stuart has followed her own musical star, sometimes performing a folk song on her electric guitar and sometimes going unplugged all together.
Today her band, The Formerlys, represent a gathering of some of the mainstays in the Pacific Northwest music
scene, and their latest CD, Freedom, reflects the genre defying blend of styles and influences which are the hallmark of Alice Stuart’s musical heritage.
Here is a place for ALL of Alice's many fans and we hope a place to share a love of the music which has inspired Alice throughout her life.
Welcome !

"We got to see and hear and dance to Alice and Steve and her oh so cool drummer at the Uptown in Port Townsend Saturday night. Some folks were saying it was the best time in a long time, including my Jimmie and me. Thank you so much Shanita for turning us onto this inspiring artist! Wish you would have been here. Watching you dance is one of my favorite things and must see you dance to Alice. Susan and Karli got albums so we can do just that when you come up. Yahoo!"
We know you won't be there this Saturday. But it makes me SOOOO HAPPY that my mama and friends are and were to have the gift of being and dancing with you!
