Legendary artist Alice Stuart formed a blues/folk band called Alice Stuart & The Formerlys in 1999 with experienced musicians. Their debut album Freedom celebrated life and featured hit songs. Stuart had a long career in rock music, influencing artists like Bonnie Raitt. She toured with folk greats in the 1960s and collaborated with rock icons like Jerry Garcia in the 1970s before retiring to raise a family. Now she and her bandmates, who also have decades of experience, are working on their second album together.
