About

Grammy-winning artist Allison Russell is a weaver of stories and tales through the medium of music. Since the release of her first solo album three years ago, the self-taught singer, songwriter, poet, activist, and multi-instrumentalist has redefined what artistry means in the 21st century. From her devastatingly moving celebration of survivors' joy through Outside Child to the body-shaking, mind-expanding, soulful expression of Black liberation that is The Returner, Russell's music exceeds all reasonable (and unreasonable) expectations and affirms her place among today's most vital artists.

Various honors include her Grammy win for Best American Roots Performance for the powerful single "Eve Was Black" alongside 7 additional nominations, the Juno Award for Contemporary Roots Album of the Year, the Americana Music Association's 2023 Spirit of Americana Award & 2022 Album of the Year Award, two International Folk Music Awards, three Canadian Folk Music Awards, and four UK Americana Music Awards.

Alongside the Rainbow Coalition Band - a talented ensemble of Black and POC, queer, and historically marginalized musicians from across the U.S. - Russell uses the power of music in order to spread her message of the "Beloved Community" and is dedicated to lifting others upwards as her own star climbs higher.

    Headed for the stars

    by Eclectic on 3/19/24Le Studio TD - Montréal

    Positive: Great variety of powerful music, great energy. Excellent band. Great blend of English and French. Not positive: Late start was not respectful. TD venue not ideal (standing only for opening and main act). A little too much pontificating.

    Beautiful

    by Gary B on 3/18/24Le Studio TD - Montréal

    From the very first song, Montreal, Allison connected with the audience and led us on a beautiful voyage of her music. I’m old(ish) and I’ve seen many incredible shows and Allison’s concert ranks right up there for me.

    Fantastic and heartwarming and soul lifting

    by Barb on 3/4/24Bella Concert Hall - Mount Royal University - Calgary

    Allison is so free and comfortable in her own skin. She’s authentic and so natural on the stage, expressing her beautiful spirit and LOVE! And her voice just blows me away as well as her ability to play so many instruments so masterfully. And yay to Aysanabee for a wonderful performance! I love him to pieces.🧡

    Allison Russell at The Birchmere in Virginia

    by smfossi on 12/18/23Birchmere - Alexandria

    Allison Russell's Nightflyer and other amazing songs, discovered via Spotify, were a balm for the spirit during the pandemic and other national horrors of 2016-2020. When I saw a concert nearby at The Birchmere in Virginia, I corralled my husband for the concert despite that we still do not do much indoor venue hanging about. The set up with dining tables with six chairs seemed reasonably less dense than most concert venues. We ended up sitting at a four person table at the far corner which had a great view and perfect sound, had a Left Hand Milk Stout and enjoyed the concert. Allison Russell must be seen in person. Her band were all women with their own solo careers as well as working with Allison and it was a charming and eclectic sound. Allison's voice is one for the ages, powerful and exquisitely emotive. She is up for a Grammy and I hope will gain enough following to "be able to pay for her daughter's college"as she attests and deservedly would do much more than that.

    Amazing

    by TJK on 12/13/23Birchmere - Alexandria

    I have been trying to see Allison Russell for several years. I fell in love with her music during the pandemic. I have been playing her music on my sound system which is very good, but it didn’t prepare me for her energy and depth in concert. She is an amazing talent. Her life story is extraordinary and thankfully through her chosen friends she found music.

    Amazing

    by Krista B on 12/13/23Birchmere - Alexandria

    Allison Russel is a force and will continue to rise . I believe getting to see her at a small venue won’t be available after the Grammys this year . The Birchmere in Alexandria is such a fun spot so the night was perfect.

    Allison Russell rocks!

    by Seajay on 12/13/23Birchmere - Alexandria

    The venue was a new one for us and we didn't know what to expect. Given the time we had to arrive, we didn't know that it would be an opportunity to meet and connect with people before the show. Once the doors were open, we continued conversations and had a great meal. It all led to a blow-out performance by a soulful, thoughtful, energetic group. What a great evening!

    Liquid Love.

    by Alicia- loo on 3/12/22State Theatre - Portland

    Allison and her team of power women send a wave of liquid love out into the universe around them. The music is tight, the lyrics inspirational and the energy of the show is contagious, infusing every member of the audience with long absent hope. They transform every theater into an evangelical tent where lucky pilgrims receive electrical blessings of female fortitude.
