Allison Weiss
Summary by Casey DeHoedt
Allison Weiss is a singer/songwriter hailing from Athens Georgia. Her acoustic guitar, dreamy lyrics and sweetly exposed voice waxes nostalgic for the ole days of leisurely lattes and romances satisfied by “just holding hands.” Weiss began playing various Athens venues in 2005. In 2007 Allison released her first album An Eight Song Tribute to Feeling Bad & Feeling Better. Now in 2008, Weiss is backed with a band that adds a gauzy beauty to her space of honest introspection and carefree joyousness.
Weiss and the gang can be seen at Popfest on August 12th, at Cine.
