Allison August is a soulful singer-songwriter whose deep musical roots stretch across four generations. Born into a family of accomplished musicians—conductors, concert pianists, jazz theorists, and cowboy song singers—Allison was immersed in a rich tapestry of sound from a young age. Inspired by legends like Ray Charles, Billie Holiday, and the Beatles, she began writing songs at just nine years old and performing in bands by her early teens. Her first professional group, Barebones, earned critical acclaim with their 1996 debut, For the Mind, Body, and Soul…, setting the stage for a career marked by passion, authenticity, and powerful storytelling. Her most recent work includes Holy Water, a blues-forward album recorded with longtime collaborators and supported by icons like Paul Barrere and Coco Montoya. Now, Allison returns with AUGUST MOON (March 2025), produced by Grammy-winner Tony Braunagel and featuring an all-star lineup including Sugaray Rayford, Billy Watts, and Teresa James. Blending blues, Americana, R&B, jazz, and country, her music dives deep into themes of love, loss, resilience, and hope. With raw, emotional vocals and masterful songwriting, Allison August delivers performances that are as timeless as they are deeply personal. Visit Allison August’s website
