COUSIN ALICE

Mark Harman, Piano

Think Tom Waites meets Peggy Lee & Marianne Faithful Jools Holland

Cousin Alices unique singing and playing are gritty, heartfelt and sweet, delivered with humor and a captivating personality. She seduces audiences with her smokey voice and antique banjo-ukelele playing.

Holding the crowd in the palm of her hand, be it a large music venue or intimate cabaret club, Cousin Alice is a magnetic performer. A talented singer/songwriter, she performs a collection of jazz standards, pop, nostalgia, blues, and her own original work, including Kukerichoo, a number one hit in South Korea.
