Sounds Like" ... sparse, but somehow joyful folk music. Think female hipster-dylan circa '61 (complete with mouth harp). "
- This Mornin' I Am Born Again

"... violently strumming her tiny guitar, mixing underneath addictive melodies that seemed to convey stories, as if she [is] singing directly to the exact person standing right in front of her."
- CMJ

"Her songs are constructed from melody as depth, rather than distortion and crash cymbals... she executes it with the right attitude and style."
- Joseph Craig (of Housefire)

"Allison Francis and the Good Times."
- Felecia & the Dinosaur

   About Allison Francis
AHhhhhh, I love music, I can't stress that enough, I love listening to it and relating to it and writing it and playing it and singing it and having other people relate to it and feeling it all over and hearing it in things other than instruments and voices, this stuff is so important and personal to me so I hope you can appreciate it to some extent (or to no extent) as well. (Pardon my run-on sentence, think of it as me getting it all out in one breath). Please, please, give it all a listen, and if you like it, please help me spread the word and get as many people to hear it as possible. I am incredibly grateful for those of you who do listen and support me, please send me a message if you have anything to say, even if it's just hi. I have so much love for you guys.

I am from Portland, but currently in Boston. I am twenty-one years old.
I am on Base Trip Records and they are fabulous.

Thank you for your comment Allison.  I met Fee a few days ago, in a chance encounter.. and I've been feeling really good ever since.  I think it does make us friends.  I like your music quite a bit, it has a lot of heart in it -and that elapsed video you did with Rapper Steph is really cool.
