Alice Hasen

Alice Hasen is a Memphis-based violinist, recording artist and songwriter. Alice is known for her unique style which combines the virtuosity of her classical upbringing with soaring improvisation. Alice formed her solo project, Alice Hasen & the Blaze, in 2018 to allow herself total freedom in songwriting and playing. Her five-piece “fiddle-powered groove band” is rooted in the Memphis heritage of funk, rock and jazz but can stray into pop, blues, and experimental territory. In 2019, she released her debut album, Violintro, which Radio Memphis called "one of the most dynamic sounds out there." Her latest project, a duo with Josh Threlkeld, has enjoyed success with one track placed on Spotify’s “New Grass” playlist and another single landing on Spotify’s “Indie Bluegrass” playlist. Her next solo project, Dream of Rain, will drop in October 2024, grappling with themes of climate change and mental health. Alice serves on the Music Export Memphis Artist Advisory Council, as well as the Board of Directors of Southeast Regional Folk Alliance (SERFA).
