Allyson Paige

Allyson Paige has made a name for herself throughout the San Francisco Bay Area as a result of her powerful voice and exceptional ability to deliver table-pounding performances and raw emotional power to any song that she sings. The inherent beauty and soulfulness of her voice lends itself to ALL styles of music. The first business cards she created for herself as a teenager said, "Allyson Paige. I can sing it." Simply stated, truth in advertising. Allyson hails from the Sonoma County wine country north of San Francisco where her roots in classic rock led her talents into a successful career, which has cut across many musical swaths including: classic rock, blues, folk, jazz and country. Allyson has performed at many of the San Francisco Bay Area's premier clubs including: Slims, Bimbos 365, Great American Music Hall, The Sweetwater Saloon, The Last Day Saloon, and the Mystic Theater, just to name a few.

Allyson counts Joni Mitchell, The Stones, The Beatles, Aretha Franklin, Linda Ronstadt, Ella Fitzgerald, Etta James, Bonnie Raitt, and Elton John among some of her major influences and personal heroes - just to start - and their legacies resonate throughout her music. Allyson has been writing and singing songs for more than half her life, breathing passion into each performance with a mesmerizing voice that can be both beautifully tender and stunningly intense, with a raw, go-for-broke rock 'n' roll roadhouse abandon.

Allyson first made a splash in the storied San Francisco Bay Area music scene as the lead vocalist for The Chris Cobb Band. In addition to working with songwriters Alex Call (Huey Lewis, Pat Benatar) and Andre Pessis (Bonnie Raitt, Mr. Big), she has shared the stage with Narada Michael Walden (Producer/Drummer, Aretha Franklin, Mariah Carey, Stevie Wonder), the late Clarence Clemons (Bruce Springsteen & The E Street Band), Eric Martin (Mr. Big), Angela Strehli, Tommy Castro, Roy Rogers, Norton Buffalo, Earl Thomas, Raz Kennedy (founding member of Bobby McFerrin's Voicestra), The Waybacks, and Bob Weir (The Greatful Dead).
