Allison Kershner

I aim to make the booking process easy while providing a performance that feels thoughtfully tailored to each event. I take time to understand the client or vendor’s preferences and use that to shape my song selection, while also reading the audience and adjusting the energy throughout the performance.

My typical sound creates a warm, sophisticated atmosphere, but I’m equally comfortable turning up the energy when the occasion calls for it. I’m happy to take requests when they’re within my repertoire, and with advance notice, I can also learn specific songs to make an event feel more personal.

For smaller venues and intimate outdoor events, I bring everything I need to perform, including my own PA system and equipment. My setup does require access to a standard electrical outlet, but otherwise I’m equipped to provide a complete performance setup for settings such as backyard parties, private gatherings, and smaller events.

Ultimately, you’re getting more than a setlist. I bring a flexible, attentive approach that allows the music to fit the event rather than the other way around.

I’m Allison, a South Florida-based singer and guitarist bringing a warm, soulful, and inviting sound to every event. My musical style blends soothing vocals and acoustic guitar with influences ranging from jazz and soul to contemporary pop and singer-songwriter music.

In addition to being a gigging musician, I’m a professional music therapist, with specialized training in using music to create meaningful connections and memorable experiences. I bring that same intentionality and sensitivity to my performances, creating an atmosphere that feels polished, personal, and genuine.

I primarily perform at hotels, resorts, private parties, and special events, with a repertoire and performance style that can be tailored to each setting. Whether you’re looking for relaxed background music, an elegant cocktail-hour atmosphere, or a more engaging and upbeat performance, I strive to create music that complements the occasion and leaves a lasting impression.

For smaller venues, private parties, and intimate outdoor events, I provide my own PA system, microphone, guitar, and all necessary performance equipment. My setup requires access to a standard electrical outlet.

I can accommodate a variety of performance spaces and do not require a stage for smaller, more intimate events. A clean, level area with enough room for my equipment and seating is ideal.

Sound: I provide my own sound system for smaller performances. For larger venues or events with an in-house sound system, I am happy to coordinate with the venue or sound technician regarding audio requirements.

Power: Access to a standard electrical outlet is required.

Lighting: I do not have specific lighting requirements. I can work with existing venue lighting or event lighting as needed.

Setup: I typically arrive with enough time to set up and sound-check before guests arrive. Specific setup needs can be discussed based on the venue and event size.
