ALLI BEAN & Friends Present: Outside Voice
Sun. June 5th 2022 7:00 - 9:00 doors at 5:30 (All Ages) Alli Bean is pleased to announce the upcoming release of her debut album, Outside Voice. This is a major move on Alli's mission to share her message with a wider audience.
“The instrumentation ... is truly a beautiful work of art, taking listeners into an alternate reality full of soulful vibes and inner peace. Alli’s vocal performance ... is phenomenal and the ambience to it is the perfect touch for the soundscape of this track.” says Gifted Balance Records about the album's second single, Two Birds; “We love every moment of this track.”
Alli Bean is a multi-award-winning Canadian powerhouse blues/jazz/pop-influenced songwriter and vocalist. Drawing influence from a list of artists including Wynton Kelly, Horace Silver, Fiona Apple and Amy Winehouse, her compositional style leans toward the bluesy funky side of the street, with a twist of jazz and a dash of sass for good measure. Fans of Tori Amos & Alicia Keys won't want to miss this show.
The absence of live performance opportunities since March of 2020 have opened the door to deep solo development and remote collaboration. Through her previous work in cover bands from Central to Southern Vancouver Island, Bean forged connection with West Coast talents Dave Friend and Stewart McLellan. They joined forces into a remotely collaborative trio with Bean and Friend co-producing to create this culmination of seven of her favourite original works dating back to 2017. Outside Voice is a groovy set that will make you sway & bounce on a ride of honest soulful emotion.
As the pandemic restrictions have eased, Bean has returned to work with her pre-pandemic band mates, Lindsay Ward (Bass), Benjamin James-Groom (Drums), Corey Fenster (Guitar) & Alex Be (Backup Vocals) to present Outside Voice live, in person, for the first time. Alli & her friends would like to cordially invite the public to join them on June 5, 2022 at Hermann's Jazz Club to celebrate her powerful debut as a singer-songwriter.
