Details:
"I Think Itâs Finally Morning",
Alice Bierhorstâs ninth album of originals, is simply
beautiful. Her first solo acoustic album, each song is thrown in stark relief by her heartfelt singing and carefully chosen lyrics. Like a great short story writer,
Bierhorst plumbs the depths of the
human spirit in three minutes or less.

Alice Bierhorst is based in New York.
She has amassed a huge catalog of
songs since she began writing in 1993 in
San Francisco. Her songwriting has ranged
from multi-metered prog rock to harmonically
dense orchestral pop to Appalachian-style folk,
but she is always unmistakably herself.

Performing as a solo artist, sidewoman, and
member of the band Rockdove, Alice has
released nearly an album a year in the
last twelve years. She believes that
her journey is just beginning and
the best years are ahead for
an artist who has quietly developed
on the margins.

Alice has been compared to Nick Drake,
David Crosby, and the Velvet Underground as
well as Brian Wilson, 60's girl groups and the
Stax sound. Other influences include
Kate Bush, Joni Mitchell,
Booker T. & The M.G.âs,
and Stevie Wonder.
