Alice Russell in Chicago Tonight

Vocalist Alice Russell will be performing at Schubas tonight in Chicago! Alice has become on of the UK’s hottest singers, having recorded with the likes of Massive Attack, The Nextmen and Quantic and performing with the likes of The Roots and The Quantic Soul Orchestra.

Catch her at Schubas at 10:30pm, 21+. Tickets are $14.

She released her sophomore album Pot Of Gold in January through her new label Six Degrees Records. It picked up quite a bit of favorable press attention, with NPR calling it "The embodiment of blue eyed soul...Alice Russell may not yet be as well known as fellow British soul divas like Amy Winehouse or Joss Stone, but she's more than their equal." More than is right, I'd call comparing Russell to Winehouse an insult to the former, but that's just me.

Check out "Got the Hunger" from her new album below, and future tour dates after the break!
