My friend, Alyse Black was in town Tuesday, 14 April and performed at the Academy Theatre in Hapeville, GA.
I met Alyse in 2008 when she performed at the Five Spot in Little Five Points, and have been following her career ever since. She’s a great singer and songwriter, and her live shows are always very energetic and a lot of fun.
She’s recently completed a successful Kickstarter campaign and is in the studio putting the finishing touches on her next album. If her previous work is any indication, this one should be excellent.
