Alice Di Micele<\/strong> is a New Jersey-born and Oregon-based independent folk artist. Interpretations: Volume 1<\/em>, released last month on her own independent label, is her 17th solo recording and features covers of songs by artists who have inspired her as performers and songwriters. These include Rev. Gary Davis, The Grateful Dead, Abbey Lincoln, Christine McVie of Fleetwood Mac, Tom Petty, Sting, Kate Wolf, and Neil Young. Di Micele released her first solo recording (Make a Change) in 1988 and also appears on a number of compilations. An environmental and peace activist, many of Di Micele’s own songs reflect on those themes as she seeks to uplift the human experience through her music.<\/p>\n
