Minnesota songbird Alison Rae wrote her first song at the age of 4 (with a little help from Auntie Jill)... now 29, she is still writing songs and performing with the likes of Mindy Smith and Julie Lee.
You may have heard Alison Rae and her 1949 Gibson guitar on MPR’s The Morning Show, 89.3 The Current’s Local Show, or Ellen Stanley’s Womenfolk on KFAI.
You may have seen her at favorite Twin Cities venues like the Bryant Lake Bowl theater, the Turf Club, the Fine Line Music Cafe or in the basement of Java Jacks, at Jim Walsh’s Hootenanny.
Her 2007 selftitled debut album features such luminaries as Noah Levy, Joe Savage, Tim Frantzich, John Munson, Peter Ostroushko and Dan Chouinard.
“The Twin Cities music scene is propped up by an army of young songwriters with old souls ... One of the most arresting is Alison Rae, a Shoreview native whose voice and songs come at you with all the power and hype of a falling snowflake.”
...her talent has instantly hushed the room.”
Jim Walsh, MinnPost December 2007

every word that is uttered and find a world that normally goes at a million miles an hour
slow to a relaxing canter. "
