Alison Scott

Hello! My name is Alison Scott. My band and I are on a mission to write, play, and sing music with soul. We’ve been having a lot of fun lately; opening for Bon Jovi, Boz Scaggs, Marc Cohn, Chris Isaak, and Nanci Griffith. We’ve been selling out local shows at venues like The Varsity, The Fine Line, The Guthrie, and the Dakota Jazz Club (which we’ve sold out the last 6 times we’ve played there!).

How did it all start? I’ve been studying and playing music my whole life; first piano, and then opera, music theater, and jazz. Now, it’s turned into something new… something that’s mine. Growing up, the Minneapolis music scene was the perfect place for me to start, because the pond isn’t too big or too small (but it’s frozen over half the year regardless). My band and I are happy to call this city our home. I really don’t think people outside of this area understand all that it has to offer until they come here.
