What to expect

My name is Ali Downer! I am a seasoned, powerhouse contralto vocalist with a versatile singing style and have been singing lead vocals in pro band settings for the past 10 years, as well as solo and acoustic duo and trio projects. Very importantly, a sharp ear for dynamics and vocal pitch thanks to past formal vocal music training. I can sing anything from classic rock to current pop, disco to sultry jazz...whatever you give me, I will sing it well, and sell it! I'm a fearless and confident frontwoman and performer and not afraid to be funny or over-the-top, if that is what the show calls for. Extensive repertoire spanning from 1950s to today.
Influences include Whitney Houston, Ann Wilson, Pat Benatar and Freddie Mercury, to name a few! Notable past venues performed: Mod Club, Lee's Palace, Horseshoe Tavern, Bier Markt King Street West, Bier Markt Square One, Blue Mountain Village Main Stage.
Looking to work with professional and regularly gigging musicians (Wedding/Corporate Band, Bar Band, Tribute Band, duo or trio work) preferably that play more than 2 times a month, and I am available also as a sub-in and learn new material very quickly. Start-up bands and jam bands need not reply. Pro gear and vehicle and willing to travel.
