Our new feature is an editorial by one of our BeachFront Radio Ambassadors.  

This one is from Craig Guest reporting on a House concert he attended for Alice Wallace, Andy was there as well.

 

. . . House Concert with Alice Wallace May 8, 2019

 

Alice Wallace’s House Concert in West Chester, Pa.

HOW WAS THE CONCERT?
Unbelievable!  Alice’s voice is uniquely strong and rich. She created her songs based on her life experiences.  She does a remarkable job of explaining those experiences in detail before singing about them.  For example, she described why she was inspired to write “The Santa Ana Winds” (Devastating Wild Fires) and “Desert Rose”.  She explained that “Desert Rose” was a pregnant woman who crossed over the border from Mexico to have a baby and how she gave birth on the floor of a garage.  Remarkably, Alice also described in song, the love making and broken promises that led to the song.

ALICE’S PERSONAL HISTORY:
Alice was born in California.  When she was still a child, she moved with her family to
Florida.  While Alice was growing up, her parents filled the home with music.  They played and sang to the likes of Gram Parsons and Emmylou Harris.  Alice picked up her guitar at the age of 10 and learned to fingerpick from her dad at 15.  During her senior year in high school, she got a job playing at her local Borders Book Store.  While in college, she discovered the art of yodeling.  She displayed this talent beautifully (to great applause) at our concert.

After her family relocated to Southern California, Alice focused on writing, performing and touring. In 2017, she won “Female Vocalist of the Year” the California Country Awards.
 

HOW WE FOUND ALICE?
When Craig saw that Alice Wallace was going to perform at a house concert in West Chester, Pa., he listened to her music.  He thought it sounded great and emailed Andy at Beachfront Radio.  Andy loved her music too and sent the song “The Blue” to the Trop 5 Countdown with John Cody.  John picked “The Blue” as Number 2 for the month of May !

WHAT HAS ALICE DONE RECENTLY?
Alice’s latest album, which debuted on Jan. 18, 2019, is called “Into The Blue”.  In the song “The Blue”, Alice describes’s her own journey to conquer her fears and pursue the things she loves most.  “Into The Blue” is distributed by Rebelle Road Records, which was founded by women and dedicated to balancing the equity of female artists.

In the CD “Into The Blue” she sings a song called “Elephants”.  This song gives a voice to women who refuse to be quiet as a mouse in a room full of elephants.

Alice is an unusually talented singer songwriter. Her performances are unbelievable & unforgettable.  I hope that everyone who can will get to see her in a house concert.

Hey BeachBums and Parrotheads, Below is a message from Don Middlebrook and his CD Mexico Beach and the fundraiser that he is running to help get Mexico Beach back on its feet.

 

 **** Special announcement. At MOTM this year, through the generosity of our BeachBum fans at our events we raised $1400 to help the Mexico Beach Hurricane Relief effort run by Don Middlebrook. We presented a check to him on Sunday while he was performing at the Conch Republic.

 

From Don . . . .

The Mexico Beach area of the Florida panhandle has been devastated. To help with hurricane recovery efforts, we are donating 100% of the proceeds from downloads of our song "Mexico Beach." (Link below)

This will continue until I walk back through the doors of Mango Marley's. Mango Marley's Mexico Beach gave this song LIFE, and now, this song will do all it can to give LIFE back to Mexico Beach.

PLEASE SHARE with all your friends!
