Overview

I enjoy playing to audiences of ALL ages. Regardless,I bring an eclectic mix of popular favorites covering seven decades of pop, rock, country and blues delivered soulfully with just the right amount of funk, energy and grit. For the kiddos, I have repetoire of pumped up nursery rhymes as well as favorites made popular by movies. I can deliver a rock-a-chill performance suitable for dinner hour and transition to a more energized set with a crowd engaging show. A set list driven mostly by covers, I do like to weave in originals for the sake of a dynamic and authentic Alison performance.

Perfect

Our experience with Alison was perfect from beginning to end. Great communication, warm, thoughtful, and the kids had so much fun with her! One of the toddlers invited her back to his house 🥲

She is a delight!

Alison was very easy going and accommodating. She worked great with the kids and knew a lot of song they requested. She has a great voice and has fun with the kids. Would definitely hire again.

Just right!

Alison took a chance on us and agreed to perform for an unknown number of people at a first-ever event. She read the crowd and the general atmosphere perfectly and picked the appropriate playlist. Even though few guests took the time to actually sit at the music stage and listen, I hear many guests remarking that they enjoyed what she was playing and her energy. She is simply wonderful.

About

Mid-Atlantic 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 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.

A longtime performer, Alison recently made her way to the recording studio where, to date, she has released 2 originals, with a third due in August of 2021. 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. An album is scheduled for release in Spring of 2022.

Alison regularly performs across the Mid-Atlantic region from the Eastern seaboard to the WV panhandle. She plays a seasoned variety of venues that includes festivals, private functions, vineyards in addition to restaurant and bar sponsored live performances. She also travels with a regional Southern Rock inspired band providing both lead and backup vocals.
