Allison Daniels

Quebec City-based country singer/songwriter Allison Daniels is a rarity – a young artist who’s made her living almost exclusively as a working musician - an experience she brings to bear beautifully on her upcoming debut album via Vancouver’s 604 Records.

Although she’s been described as an ‘up and coming’ talent, she has made a substantial impact in her home province as a quarter-finalist on La Voix (Quebec’s version of The Voice), performing a duet with Country superstar Keith Urban at Festival d'été de Québec in 2015, and opening for Canadian country star Tim Hicks.

While country music is Daniels’s main focus now, her sound is impossible to pigeonhole, a seamless blend of rock, traditional country, and swampy blues, with hints of country pop haunting the edges.

“For me,” she says, “it was important to create a style that wasn’t ‘in the box’ – a style that's truly me.”

Job done – on stage and on record, Allison Daniels displays a level of comfort and clarity of intent that only someone who’s spent a lot of time on deck singing and playing their heart out can achieve.
