Nominated for five Grammys, singer/pianist Karrin Allyson moves with ease and authority from the Great American Songbook of Gershwin and Porter to the Great American Jazz Songbook of Duke and Thelonius and Miles and Dizzy, with infusions of the musical essences of Rio and Paris. Legendary jazz critic Gary Giddins said in the Village Voice: "Allyson brings a timbre that is part ice and part grain — incisive, original, and emotionally convincing." This is an artist who brings plenty of heart and warmth to her singing, with an emotional range from bittersweet to sassy.

Her start: while attending the University of Nebraska Omaha on a classical music scholarship, Allyson began gigging as lead singer of “Tomboy,” an all-girl rock band. The NY Times has written “had Ms. Allyson followed a different path, she might have enjoyed a pop career along the lines of Bonnie Raitt’s “,

As the artist still says, “I am a Midwesterner at heart,” which perhaps explains her unassuming, clear-toned, deceptively sophisticated style.

Allyson lives in New York but spends two days out of three on the road, performing at major jazz festivals, concert venues and clubs in the U.S. as well as repeated tours overseas — to Brazil, Japan, Australia and the great cities of Europe.

"The stuff that shivers are made of: innocent, sexy and world-weary." -Washington Post

"Utter musical fearlessness - a complete artist, and one of the jazz world's finest." -NY Times
