Allison, writes songs of love, lust and longing, making you laugh and weep at the same time. From tales of San Francisco to tangos about seduction, she takes you through a musical journey that revisits Kurt Weill, Cole Porter, Ben Folds, and Nina Simone, while spinning out piano stylings of Liszt, Fats Waller, Bartok and Elton John.
