Country. Roots. Warblers, pickers & grinners. This is Alice & The Underground, a crew of old souls playing tunes about feelings. Alice Sorensen, Jon Hildenstein, Danny Reisbick and Douglas Rosebank have been working together since early 2016. Having all enjoyed long, diverse music careers, they've come together to keep it simple and play good music. The band’s sound and writing are influenced by the blending of Alice’s love for classic country and Jon’s jazz guitar background, combined with Douglas’s desire to “save rock and roll” - all mellowed out by Danny’s enigmatic joy for playing bass and making good music.
Alice grew up steeped in a deep country music tradition, often playing and singing with her dad from a young age to the likes of Merle Haggard, Johnny Cash, Willie Nelson, and so many more around campfires, at backyard parties, and even at American Leigons and VFW’s throughout the North Country. Dad, aka Ron, has even sat in with the Underground a time or two. As a result, the band’s writing can’t help but be audibly influenced by the members’ collective nostalgia for hometown music, gritty dives, and big country skies full of bright, shining stars. New EP "Cocaine & Cabernet" follows the 2017 release of their single "Remind Me", featuring the title track and B-side toe-tapper, "Walk the Floor". Penned by Alice Sorensen & Jon Hildenstein, "Might As Well Do Cocaine," dares a repentant old flame to try to rekindle the fire, while saucily and flatly noting that there is no chance, whatsoever.
