Allison Shirk

Bio

Allison Shirk is a singer-songwriter whose music blends her Texas country roots with the rock sound of the Northwest. Allison hails from Vashon Island, an Island not far from Seattle/Tacoma. She has been writing music for over a decade. Her voice is unique, with subtle inflections, and her sincerity and soulfulness are infectious. In turn, her songs are rich with stories and emotion, varying from traditional song structure that give listeners melodic surprises. Allison's rich voice has just the right amount of grit and warmth and her melodious tunes support her poetic and often personal lyrics that give listeners a sense of her authenticity.

Today, Allison is backed by a stellar band of local musicians including Wesley Peterson on drums, Christopher Overstreet on keys, Scott Carness on guitar, Jamie Riley on bass, and Rick Dousette on guitar. Click here for a longer biography.
