Tamworth’s own rebel child is a breath of fresh air and an outburst of originality in songwriting. Allison Forbes is a new-age outlaw of country music. What a year she’s had! Allison is now touring the countryside in her poptop caravan, taking her unique blend of folk-infused country music and many years of entertainment experience on the road.
She’s had a massive few years playing the most esteemed festivals in the country (Tamworth Country Music Festival, Airlie Beach Festival of Music, Gympie Muster, Nimbin Roots, Mildura Independent Country Music Festival), releasing two EP’s with Shane Nicholson in the drivers seat, to rave reviews atop the iTunes charts and both were nominated for, and winning, a swag of awards.
Allison has well and truly secured her spot tightly in Australia's alt-country scene. Through insightful lyrics and addictive melodies, her stories will charm the pants off you!! Her voice soars easily through any style with strength, warmth and consideration. The lead single from her forthcoming debut album "Hell Freezes Over" has been described as 'powerful', 'from the heart' and 'full of Americana goodness'. Make sure you get to a show and experience this performer. She is in high demand at clubs, pubs, wine bars and cafes all over Australia.
The debut album "Bonedigger" is released this November.
