   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 wanna play more shows/play with people/tour help me help you

I will be out of VA from around June 10-16th, and July 16th-28th so I can't play or help book any shows, sorry!
