BIO
Baltimore -Washington-Annapolis area musician, Alison Thoms is a self-described “singer, songwriter, and strummer”.

She brings a soulful 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. Her rock-a-chill manner is said to capture the likeness of Janis Joplin, Bonnie Raitt and Mary Chapin Carpenter.3

Her first single entitled "Just Getting Started" has been well received by audiences and is the A side of her first vinyl…the beloved seven-inch record, affectionately referred to by her generation as a 45.
