Alison Lewis is a singer and songstress out of Detroit, Michigan. Right now, while
living life and working hard in Chicago, she has recorded something brand new.
Hum her 5th album, and second solo album. Released in September 2006, Alison
shines brighter than ever - a woman aglow and in her prime. She is focusing on
the basics- stripping it down to the good wood. With well-crafted lyrics and raw,
clean melody, Alison Lewis is not only well worth listening to, she will make
you smile WHILE you cry. Check her out:
Long, long ago, in the mountains of Appalachia, she began performing at open
mics, in tiny bars, and very late at night. A little scared, a little sweet,
and a little girl with a guitar and a glass of whiskey. A little less long,
long ago, she was singing and strumming around campfires on beaches and jetties,
on docks and in warehouses along the Oregon coast, until the Motor City called
her heart back home, and she listened.
Before recording her first solo release, "Hideaway", in 2000, she
was playing regularly at festivals, in bars, at coffee shops, and on street
corners all over Detroit. Along the way, "The Twilight Babies" were
born, and Alison is best known as their lead singer. The Twilight Babies is
an electronic band who mixes folk sensibilities with state of the art electronic
music- creating a little bit of something that is very special. The Babies have
released 3 albums; "If You Want Me To I Could Write It Down", "Middle
of Something", and "Monster", and their work has not gone unnoticed-
winning a few Detroit Music Awards, including Best Electronic Band, and Best
Electronic Album. (check them out at www.twilightbabies.com, and also here on
Myspace)
Alison Lewis continues to perform very late at night, just as sweet as she
wants to be- she may have a little glass of whiskey, she definately has her
guitar, but she is a whole lot less scared.
