May 12, 2012 // 7 PMAlison Scott
Alison Scott is the strongest new voice to come out of the Minneapolis music scene in many years with a soulful, organic, sound that rises high above the indie rock din. Working with platinum and Grammy-winning guitarist/producer Kevin Bowe (Paul Westerberg, Etta James, Jonny Lang), drummer Peter Anderson (Polara, Honeydogs), bassist Steve Price (Rex Daisy) and keyboardist James Tyler ONeill the band has been selling out shows at Mpls venues like the Dakota and Varsity Theater along with several exclusive benefits and corporate functions. Alison has also built a large and loyal following around the midwest after performing at dozens of festivals. She has sold almost 10,000 CDs and her newest release Chinese Whispers landed on several best of the year lists . The word is out..... Chris Roberts (MN Public Radio) "a soaring, agile voice" Erik Stromstad (Varsity Theater) "I got chills the first time I saw her" Brian Turner (Cities 97) "Don't forget us when you're a big star, which you will soon be" John Ziegler (Duluth Tribune) "Somewhere between Carole King and Alicia Keys... a force to be reckoned with" Pat O'Brien (City Pages) "Alison's songs are deceptively damaged and clever; she's not even remotely interested in pleasing the so-called hipsters". Ross Raihala (St. Paul Pioneer Press) "like an outtake from Dusty in Memphis, pure jaw dropping soul, steely conviction that's hard to deny". When Alison Scott sings, people listen.
