biographical info
Vinyl Café Host, Stuart McLean has described Allison as having "... a beautiful, clear singing voice,...and the ability to tell a story with her flute." Her interest in music began in the community of West Zorra Township where she learned to sing in church choirs. She went on to study music in university and soon after helped form the highly acclaimed group "Killiecrankie". Allison has performed on CBC Radio's "The Vinyl Café" and most recently was honoured with a nomination in the "Traditional Singer of the Year" category by the Canadian Folk Music Awards.
Allison and band mates Ian Bell, Denis Rondeau, Geoff Somers and Jay Weiler captivate listeners with their beautiful renditions of traditional and original songs and tunes. The band features exquisite, three-part vocal harmonies and captivating arrangements highlighting flute, fiddle, guitar, accordion, mandolin and acoustic bass.
