Alison Scott in The Dunsmore Room
Alison Scott is the strongest voice to come out of Minneapolis in many years and her soulful, organic sound has quietly built a very large and loyal following.
While staying indier than indie and completely ignoring the hipster rulebook, through word of mouth with very little radio or media hype, Alison is making the kind of soul music that music fans love. True music lovers have always responded to an amazing voice singing great songs, and they always will- from Aretha to Adele, this is timeless music that transcends style and fashion, something for the silent majority of listeners who arent interested in fluffy pop or the trendy flavor of the month. She has spent the past eleven years working with multi-platinum guitarist/producer Kevin Bowe (Paul Westerberg, Etta James, Jonny Lang), with whom she released six albums.
Joining Scott on the stage are drummer Peter Anderson (Polara, Honeydogs), bassist Justin Rieken, keyboardist Charlie Peterson, and her newest band member-guitarist Kyle Tennis. Alison has become one of the most popular live acts in Minneapolis; she has sold out the Dakota Jazz Club over a dozen shows in a row, and is now filling 500 seat theaters. Alisons releases have sold over 15,000 units and counting. She has spent the past several months in the studio working on her 6th release, STONE COLD LOVE, which debuted in August of 2015. Scott is also coming off of maternity leave from the birth of her second child, Harrison, who was born 12/12/15.
