This famed songwriter, singer, and pianist has created the missing link between jazz and blues, layering the fusion with profound and often humorous lyrics and a unique Delta-born rustic style. Appearing with his trio, the Spanos evening will be filled with Allison songs that have been covered by such music legends as Van Morrison, The Who, Elvis Costello, and Bonnie Raitt.
“For over thirty years, (Allison has been) peppering his idiosyncratic blend of jazz and blues with mordant wit and unflinching honesty.” – Village Voice
