Alison Scott Lunch

Every Wednesday Alison performs solo

“Local newcomer Alison Scott is a favorite of mine. I ranked her disc “Hiding Under the Covers” one of 2008’s finest. While her sexy, soulful vocals are probably best experienced during a twinkling evening, she has launched a smart new residency that should get her some more exposure. Each Wednesday, she’s performing free during the lunch hour — 11:45 a.m.-1:30 p.m. — at the Dakota Jazz Club. Check her out if you can.” – St. Paul Pioneer Press

True soul comes from the most unexpected places, like a song on someone else’s radio drifting across the traffic lanes during rush hour. But you have to be listening or you might miss out. People are listening to Alison Scott and feeling the kind of soul that they’ve been missing in too much of today’s music. Alison’s remarkable songwriting and drop dead gorgeous vocals channel the same spirits as Carole King, Patty Griffin, Laura Nyro and other keepers of music’s true flame. But her unique style is so powerful that once you’ve heard her, you’ll recognize her sound forever, every time you hear it.
When Alison sits at the piano and sings, audiences truly resonate right along with her; singers this strong are rare, but those who are real songwriters as well are almost extinct!

“When this quiet young girl walked into my studio and started playing her songs I was shocked at the depth of her writing, not to mention that voice which goes from zero to 90 in about half a second. I knew right then this was going to be a great record and that she would write most of it herself.” – Grammy winning producer Kevin Bowe
