Music-wise Alice Stuart and the Formerlys will take the stage. Alice was one of the first women in rock ‘n roll back in the early 1960’s. She toured during the 1970’s with an amazing list of musicians. After time out to raise a family she’s back on the road and has released a handful of original CD’s. Seattle Weekly has in the past picked her as Seattle’s best guitarist. With the Formerlys they have been picked as Seattle’s best blues band.

"She blew us away. Alice is a 'live' experience. She's a full-of-energy, captivating performer..with extra soul...squeezing, bending, finessing the blues right out of it. Her electric playing will really set you on your ear. Onstage she moves as fluidly as a 20 year old, and looks as comfortable as if she were in her own living room. She'll knock your socks off." - Steve Witt for Platter Chatter
