Vocalist/acoustic guitarist, Allegra Shock (aka Allegra Prosper) has a background which spans punk, poetic melodies, rock and roll and folk. Shock is alluring yet vulnerable, hard yet soft, with a unique voice she uses as an instrument and a guitar she meshes with her lyrics to paint pictures with words.
Brought up in Northern California by musician/artist parents, Allegra travelled around with her father on tour and absorbed the influence of many styles of music. Rock and roll in the vein of Richards and Townsend…pop in the sense of Lennon/ McCartney and early soul/r&b… not to mention American and Irish folk music, blues, punk rock and the poets- Patti Smith, Leonard Cohen, Tom Waits, Shane Mcgowan and of course Bob Dylan. Allegra is truly a lover of music and a lover of life.
Allegra Shock, Sounds good! Thanks for befriending me and Paint It Black. Hope you like it. Wish you success and inspiration with your music, and many delights. all best, Janet F.

I'll be there ASAP hopefully... airfares apparently are coming down, so I'm really looking to find a team of players over there to back me up for my European adventure. Miss you lots!
Allegra my love!!!!!! Sister Act!!! Awe I miss you so much....I wanna sit on a porch with you and sing songs all night. Next up.. you should watch Sister act TWO! Ill send you off with a lovely quote.. "Mamma always says, there's nothing you cant fix with a worm heart...and a BIIIIIGGGG roll of duct tape!" <3<3 p.s. I have your rock n roll kamikaze sweatshirt. I rock it.
DITTO That would be cool! If you are in Seattle form now till the end of April we'll meet up. It is an amazing place for music. After april I'll be headed somewhere new.. one day soon our paths will cross again.. and it will be stranger than the first time. LOL
thanks a lot for the add and it was lovely meeting you the other night, I'm sorry I didn't catch more of your set, was a little wiped out and needed to chill for a moment. but I did hear your lovely voice, and your songs seemed rather charming - I'm sorry I couldn't get into them more. I'm sure we'll see you around...
Well if you're looking for venues far and wide i may be able to help with some this way as long as you don't expect much lol, there not the best but there ok. Will it be an acoustic thing once you have a band or something abit diffent? I'm in the process of putting a new band together myself, it's a pain trying to find dedicated musicians.
I shall keep checkin' and I'll make sure I get to one of you're gigs one day because I really like your stuff, I just played some friends your stuff to, they liked it. What brings you to London then? Most musicians would flock to L.A. What type of venues do you like to play?
Hey thanks for the. I've gotta say I love you're image and was pleasntley suprised by you're music it's really good far better than you're token 'guitar wielding singer/songerwritter'. I especially like 'Look Away'. I'd have really liked to come to one of you're gigs but unfortuantley i'm in London between them.
Hey Allegra, thanx for the request!! Your music sounds really great!!...i love it:) Keep on rockin' and have a nice weekend!! Lovely greetinx from Germany, Daniel
