"Black boldly channels Bjork, Billie, and Bush (Kate, not GW). Best yet, this jazzy, arty, oddball epic also sounds like Alyse Black more than any of her influences." - Roctober Magazine -

Alyse left a short corporate career to sing on the streets of Pike Place Market in Seattle. One day, the pianist for a local group wandered by, listened for a moment, and then explained that he liked her style. He needed another singer for a show that night at a local club. There was no looking back.
Alyse's debut solo album, "Too Much & Too Lovely," is out! It can be purchased at Amazon, CDBaby, iTunes, as well as a host of other sites. The album release party at The Triple Door in Seattle, WA, was played to a packed house. Video and photos of the event are now available.
