Bio
.. Emitting soul-shaking vocals over earth moving grooves, the neo-soul/retro R&B outfit Alley Blues is a female fronted funk machine. Carrying the echoes of the vintage blues masters through the vibe of the new breed, Alley Blues summons an aura of "the Old Soul" immersed in gritty, captivating vocals. Invoking the essence of Aretha Franklin, mingled with Janis Joplin, in lock step with today's grooving diva's, Amy Winhouse, Joss Stone, Jill Scott, Erykah Badu, Me'Shell N'degeocello, backed by the rich, earthy grooves of the Dap Kings, the Meters, and the Roots... you have Alley Blues. In 2008, they were selected as Finalists for the Boston Blues Challenge. The band brings a refreshing blend of groove based Funk, Soul and R&B to the Northeast Music Scene. Featuring Alley Stoetzel's powerful, vibrant vocals and alluring stage presence, backed by Eric Vincent's tasteful, ear-pleasing guitar riffs. Louis Ochoa's infectious; fat, funky grooves hold down the low end on bass. Rounding out the rhythm foundation is Justin Oliver's solid, core-shaking pocket on drums. The band has been touring extensively throughout the New England region. .. -

Are you one of Romney's 47% Soul?
"JACKSON'S LOVE - FOR THE LOVE OF A CHILD" - MY BRAND NEW CD - HAS JUST BEEN RECORDED - WATCH FOR IT SOON @ www.RichardHarrisLive.com
TODAY'S THOUGHT IS ABOUT MITT ROMNEY'S 47% ...
"There are 47% of the people (over 141,000,000 people) who
will vote for the president no matter what. All right, there are 47%
who are with him, who are dependent upon GOVERNMENT,
who believe that they are VICTIMS, who believe the
government has a responsibility to CARE FOR THEM, who
believe that they are ENTITLED to HEALTH CARE, to FOOD, to
HOUSING, to YOU-NAME-IT. That that’s an entitlement. And the
government should give it to them. And they will vote for this
president no matter what…These are people who pay no income
tax…MY JOB IS NOT TO WORRY ABOUT THOSE PEOPLE. I’ll
never convince them they should take PERSONAL
RESPONSIBILITY and care for their lives."
~ Mitt Romney
HE DOESN'T OFTEN INSULT HALF THE AMERICAN PUBLIC, BUT WHEN HE DOES, HE CHARGES $50,000.00 A PLATE TO HEAR HIM.
With LOVE, RESPECT, and PEACE my friend,

TODAY'S THOUGHT IS ABOUT THE OLYMPIC GAMES ...
“Never underestimate the POWER OF DREAMS and the influence of the HUMAN SPIRIT. We are all the same in this notion: The POTENTIAL FOR GREATNESS lives within each of us.”
~ Wilma Rudolph - Olympic Champion
Wilma Rudolph was born prematurely at 4.5 lbs., the 20th of 22 siblings; Rudolph contracted infantile paralysis (caused by the polio virus) at age 4. She recovered, but wore a brace on her left leg and foot (which had become twisted as a result) until she was 9.
Wilma Rudolph was considered the FASTEST WOMAN IN THE WORLD in the 1960s and competed in two Olympic Games, in 1956 and in 1960.
In the 1960 Summer Olympics in Rome Rudolph became the first American woman to win 3 GOLD MEDALS in track and field during a single Olympic Games.

Don't be afraid to TAKE RISKS Soul!
I AM RECORDING A NEW ALBUM THIS SUMMER - WATCH FOR IT @ www.RichardHarrisLive.com
TODAY'S THOUGHT IS ABOUT RISK TAKING ...
“The person who RISKS NOTHING,
DOES NOTHING,
HAS NOTHING,
IS NOTHING,
and BECOMES NOTHING.
He may avoid suffering and sorrow, but he simply
cannot LEARN and FEEL and CHANGE
and GROW and LOVE and LIVE.”
~ Leo F. Buscaglia
MAN CANNOT DISCOVER NEW OCEANS UNLESS HE

I AM RECORDING A NEW CD THIS SUMMER - WATCH FOR IT @ www.RichardHarrisLive.com
TODAY'S THOUGHT IS ABOUT THE SUMMER HEAT ...
You KNOW its HOT when ~
> The birds have to use POTHOLDERS to pull worms out of the ground.
> The cows are giving EVAPORATED MILK.
> The trees are WHISTLING for the dogs.
> You discover that in July, it takes only 2 fingers to drive your car.
> Hot water now comes out of BOTH TAPS.
> You realize that ASPHALT has a LIQUID STATE.
IT WAS SO HOT THE OTHER DAY THAT I TURNED ON
THE LAWN SPRINKLER AND ALL I GOT WAS STEAM!
STAY COOL Soul!

It's Time to Give the Man SOME RESPECT Soul!
I AM RECORDING A NEW CD THIS SUMMER - WATCH FOR IT @ www.RichardHarrisLive.com
TODAY'S THOUGHT IS ABOUT RODNEY DANGERFIELD ...
"I get no respect. The way my luck is running, if I was a politician I would be honest."
"I have good looking kids. Thank goodness my wife cheats on me."
"I looked up my family tree and found out I was the sap."
"I told my wife the truth. I told her I was seeing a psychiatrist. Then she told me the truth: that she was seeing a psychiatrist, two plumbers, and a bartender."
"My wife wants sex in the back of the car and she wants me to drive."
"What a kid I got, I told him about the birds and the bees and he told me about the butcher and my wife."
"This morning when I put on my underwear I could hear the fruit-of-the-loom guys laughing at me."
~ Rodney Dangerfield

Soul ~ Make It a GREAT DAY my friend!
TODAY'S THOUGHT IS ABOUT THE SPIRIT OF LOVE ...
"You will find as you look back upon your LIFE
that the MOMENTS when you have REALLY LIVED
are the MOMENTS when you have DONE THINGS
in the SPIRIT OF LOVE."
~ Henry Drummond
THERE ARE FOUR QUESTIONS OF VALUE IN LIFE.
WHAT IS SACRED? OF WHAT IS THE SPIRIT MADE?
WHAT IS WORTH LIVING FOR, AND WHAT IS WORTH
DYING FOR? THE ANSWER TO EACH IS THE SAME.
ONLY LOVE.
