My official Bio is as follows:
Alison is no stranger to stages both large and small. She toured for five years with the award-winning six-women a cappella group, Vocolot, and performed at venues ranging from Skirball Museum in Los Angeles to the Jewish World Music Festival in Vancouver, Canada to the Limmud Conference in Nottingham, England, to Lincoln Center in New York.
Equally at home in classical, pop, jazz, soul or almost any genre, Alison was given high honors in San Francisco's 2002 Cabaret Competition, followed by joining San Franciscos cover band, Princess (a female tribute to Prince) with whom she performed in San Franciscos top venues. Alison currently performs with jazz trios as well as provides vocal session and/or arrangement work for artists in London, San Francisco, and Los Angeles. Most recent projects include a soon-to-be-released Jason Becker album, The Sims video game, the Eragon video game, and several independent films. She is also a lead vocalist in the Bay Area's newest musical review: A Taste of Vegas (www.downbroadway.com).
Alison has trained professionally in jazz, pop, classical, and karnatic indian techniques with leading instructors including Raz Kennedy, Helen Stephens, and Jane Sharp. An active community organizer, Alison has volunteered her pipes regularly for nonprofit organizations including Bread and Roses and San Franciscos's Glide Memorial Gospel Choir where she was a regular soloist.
.... So I do session work (in case anyone's in need of any) and live shows. I'll add that I've also spent a great deal of my life as a nonprofit activist, an avid traveler, and dog-worshipper. ;-)
