Desert Roots’ Outdoor House Features Intimate Poolside Concert

From Desert Roots Music: PALM SPRINGS, CA – Desert Roots Music has announced Alice Wallace will be the featured artist at its next house concert at the historic, Midcentury Modern Desert Star in Palm Springs.

Desert Roots Music, which launched this year, is the brainchild of music magazine owners Danny McCloskey and Jeff Taylor from The Alternate Root plus local artists Debra and Richard Hovel, co-founders of Makerville. Desert Roots Music produces concerts by new and emerging artists to bring cutting-edge talent to Palm Springs audiences. The music and performers are all singer-songwriters from a wide variety of genres but share the common thread of performing in an acoustic setting.

“The house concert concept provides music enthusiasts an opportunity to enjoy performances by a roster of professional musicians in a casual and intimate setting while giving our guests an “upclose and personal” musical experience with a maximum of 75 people.” said Danny McCloskey, one of the event organizers.

Following two successful concerts for the 2016 season, Desert Roots Music will continue its house concert series with a performance by Wallace, a singer/songwriter based in Southern California. The event puts a unique spin on traditional house concert concept by taking the performance out under the stars

Alice Wallace will perform selections from her CD “Memories, Music & Pride”. Wallace was awarded the Best Country/Americana Artist for 2016 by the LA Music Critics. Wallace, who penned all but one of the tracks on her CD, plays acoustic guitar and is accompanied by Tom Bremer, a jazz trained guitarist who has toured with Wallace for the past five years.

“Memories, Music & Pride” is Wallace’s third CD and has received many favorable reviews and accolades including the Best Country/Americana Album in 2015 from the LA Music Critics Awards. Wallace has also achieved notable success as a recording artist with such tunes as “I Want to Be a Cowboy’s Sweetheart” which was written by Patsy Montana, who released the song in the 30’s. It was the first million selling Country single by a woman.

Tickets are $20 per person and may be purchased online at desertrootsmusic.com or at the door.
