“She can make you homesick for a place you didn’t know existed.”
Bio:
A RI-based singer/songwriter and multi-instrumentalist, Allison Rose is who you’d get if Emmylou Harris, Joni Mitchell, Sara Bareilles, and a Disney Princess all had a baby together. She writes honest, heartfelt songs that will punch you in the gut, and shares them with authenticity and sense of humor to create a connecting musical experience.
