Alice's CD
Alice created a fine CD with funding assistance through an
Iowa Arts Council grant. Released mid-summer
2006, she invited many folks that she's been playing music with in recent years to be a part of this project,
including members of The Barn Owl Band and Slow Poke. A number of tracks are Alice's own songwriting as well as several great songs written by Rick Exner.
"I wanted to make an album of the songs that I loved, that wasn't about a band, or a style, but what I want to say as a person, as a musician. I wanted to capture what I love about music and life in Iowa."
