A multi-disciplinary artist, Alice Groves is a singer-songwriter who co-arranges and co-produces
her music at her home-base, Monkland Studios in Ottawa as well as designing her own videos for
release on Youtube. She performs and records both originals and covers which blend world-folk-
jazz genres variously with infusions of Brazilian, Arabic (arpegios) and Celtic stylings. She has
performed in dozens of venues large and small from small cafes to large concert halls (including
the Studio of Canada's National Arts Centre, Parliament Hill Mainstage on Canada Day) locally,
nationally and internationally. And she has been interviewed and appeared on CBC radio shows
"All in a Day", "In Town and Out" and made numerous guest appearances on Radio Q101,
Energy 12, CFRA, CKCU and on Rogers TV, CTV, and CBC-TV.
Her constant drive to embrace world sounds and cultures has led her to include Antonio Carlos
Jobim's "A Day in the Life of A Fool" (Cannes award-winning Brazilain film Manha Carnaval) on
her fifth album "Soft Illusions" and which has begun to receive notable attention on Youtube.
The album also covers Consuelo Velazquez' inimitable love song "Besame Mucho" and the
modern classic "Don't Cry for me Argentina"; but it also covers Cirque de Soleil's "If I Could
Reach Your Heart". Alongside these covers and others are her originals - "Canada" - for which she
wrote both lyrics and music, "Today's Lover" and "The Phoenician" - both spoken word pieces
with Alice's soprano vocal scatting flowing in and out of the words.
Alice music can be found on Myspace, Youtube, and CDBaby, Itunes, Amazon, etc.
