Why don't more people know about Alice Stuart? It's a legitimate question, considering the fact that she's one of the very first women of rock. She was one of the first women to do it all: guitar player, leader of her own band, and performer on international rock tours. And she can rock with the best of them. In years past, Stuart toured Great Britain with Van Morrison. She performed with Frank Zappa & the Mothers of Invention. Bonnie Raitt has cited the California-based guitarist as one of her influences.
Originally from Chelan, WA, Stuart headed for Seattle when her high school days were over. She got her start in a folk hangout called the ~Pamir House, then held a weekly gig on #Hootenanny, a television program that aired weekly in the Seattle area.
