05-15 Guitarist, vocalist & song writer Ali Handal is joined by Marc Maron & Scarlet Rivera on her new album: Slow Burn!

/

Ali Handal was 30 when she released her debut album, an age she had been taught was already too late to build a career in music. She kept going, touring internationally, charting on Billboard, singing backup for Neil Young and performing with Paul Williams, while earning praise from Guitar World, Guitar Player and Vintage Guitar. She also wrote the Hal Leonard instructional book Guitar for Girls. Along the way, she was diagnosed with a rare blood cancer in 2013 and has continued writing, recording and performing while living with the disease, making her conviction that there is no expiration date on ambition especially personal.

Blending blues-rock music with the instincts of a lifelong singer-songwriter, Ali’s new album, Slow Burn, reflects the career Ali has built on her own terms. Marc Maron trades guitar solos with her on “High Road,” a song inspired by something he said on his WTF podcast, and appears alongside her in her new video. Scarlet Rivera, whose violin helped define Bob Dylan’s “Hurricane,” plays on “Perennial,” bringing Ali’s childhood connection to that song and her father full circle: her dad first played “Hurricane” for her as a child and used it to teach her about racism in America.
