BIO
Baltimore -Washington-Annapolis area musician, Alison Thoms is a self-described “singer, songwriter, and strummer”. She is recognized by her dynamic, wide-ranging vocals and relaxed, gently percussive strumming style. She brings a soulful energy and sometimes edgy style to her performance of original works and her interpretations of rock, pop, country, and blues songs written during the last seven decades. With a spirited blend of genres, her sound is as refreshing as it is eclectic, weaving together unexpected influences into something truly unique. Alison's original songs are a testament to her craft, marked by humorous observations and deeply heartfelt storytelling. She invites you to lean in, laugh, and connect with the vibrant world she creates through her music. Her rock-a-chill manner is said to capture the likeness of Susan Tedeschi, Janis Joplin, Bonnie Raitt and Mary Chapin Carpenter.
