Ali Handal

Raised on Carole King and transformed by Led Zeppelin, Ali has spent her career proving that emotional honesty and blistering guitar work belong in the same song. Her performances move from vulnerable storytelling to explosive solos, with humor, spontaneity, and the kind of chemistry that can only come from a band playing completely in the moment.

Ali has toured across the U.S., Australia, Japan, and beyond; sung backing vocals for Neil Young; performed as featured vocalist with legendary songwriter Paul Williams; and authored Hal Leonard’s Guitar for Girls. Her album That’s What She Said debuted on Billboard’s Emerging Artists chart.

Her fifth album, Slow Burn, arrives in 2026. Co-produced with four-time Grammy winner Seth Atkins Horan and mixed by five-time Grammy winner Ross Hogarth, it features Marc Maron and legendary violinist Scarlet Rivera. Onstage, Ali and her band bring songs to life the way rock & roll is supposed to feel: loud, loose, honest, and full of groove.
