Alice Ackerman is a Montreal-based jazz and rockabilly singer and performer originally from Toronto, Ontario. Ackerman began her classical training through the Royal Conservatory, then continued her musical training by switching to jazz voice at Concordia University. She takes much of her musical and performance inspiration from old Hollywood and the classic sounds of Vaudeville and the music of early 20th-century America. Her icons include Judy Garland, Mae West, Ella Fitzgerald, Elvis Presley, Pattsi Cline, and Billy Holiday. Ackerman is most well-known for her all-encompassing performance style and rich vintage sound, giving her a unique and magical appeal.
