Allyson Paige has made a name for herself throughout the San Francisco Bay Area as a result of her powerful voice and exceptional ability to deliver table pounding performances and raw emotional power to any song that she sings. The inherent beauty and soul fullness of her voice lends itself to all styles of music. Allyson hails from Santa Rosa, California where where her roots in classic rock fed a versatility in many music genres including blues, jazz and alternative country. Allyson has preformed at many Bay Area clubs including Slims, Bimbos 365, Great American Music Hall, The Sweetwater Saloon, The Last Day Saloon, and The MysticTheater to name a few.
Allyson counts Etta James, Aretha Franklin, Joni Mitchell, Linda Ronstadt, The Beatles, Elton John, CSN&Y, and The Rolling Stones among her major influences, and their lagacies resonate throughout her music. While being a vocalist is her main pursuit, Allyson is a passionate songwriter and continues to build her catalog.
Allyson first made a splash as the featured lead vocalist for The Chris Cobb Band of San Francisco. In addition to working with songwriters Alex Call (Huey Lewis, Pat Benatar) and Andre Pessis (Bonnie Raitt, Mr.Big), she has also performed with blues artists like Angela Strehli, Tommy Castro, Sista Monica, Roy Rogers, and Norton Buffalo. Recently Allyson has performed with some of the music industry's best including Eric Martin (Mr. Big), Producer/drummer Narada Michael Walden (Whitney Houston, Aretha Franklin, Mariah Carey, Stevie Wonder), guitarist Tal Morris (Creedence Clearwater Revisted, Huey Lewis & The News), James Nash of The Waybacks and "The Weirbacks" featuring Bob Weir, Earl Thomas, and Raz Kennedy (founding member of Bobby McFerrin's Voicestra).
Allyson independently released the CD "Blue Horizon", which showcases not only her singing virtuosity and versatility, but also her talent as a songwriter. In this project, Allyson presents each individual song with a distinctive flavor. Some of the Bay Area's best offered to lend their talents to this unique project including Jon Evans (Tori Amos), Larry Cragg (Neil Young) Max Butler (Red Meat, Chuck Prophet) and Geoff Pearlman, Michael Bluestein and Kevin T. White (all formerly with Shelby Lynne).
"A welcome introduction, "Blue Horizon" shows off an artist dying to be heard and a hint of more to come." says John Beck, The Press Democrat, Santa Rosa, CA.
Allyson has lent her vocal talents to numerous recording projects with a wide range of consumate musicians from around the Bay Area. She has also recorded a few commercial jingles along the way...
