   About Alison Self
I play ukulele and kazoo.
and washboard and spoons.
although not all at the same time
(yet!)

I'm not much for original songs, but I have a couple. All of the recordings on my page are new with the exception of Cocaine Habit Blues (2005) and If The River Was Whiskey (live). The rest are from my CD. Ask me for one!


I really want to tour again soon. I don't have a car though, so if anyone wants to do any kind of tour, please get in touch! Even just weekend shows or whatever. Hit me up!

I just saw your comment on my page. I also saw that you just played red emmas , which rocks. I'd be happy to put a show together up here for you. I don't know if Slug;s revenge contacted you about his mini tour yet, but he's coming through here on the 16th, your welcome to play that show however I already promised him all the gas money and it's going to be small because it's so short notice. We can surely book another  soon too.
