Allison Barber has been described by Irish America Magazine as having a "sean-nos style beyond her years" and a talent that touches hearts and souls. This Irish-American singer/songwriter is indeed all of that. In fact, she can capture her audiences' attention from the very first note.

Living in New York City, she finds her self in high demand as a singer in the traditional scene. Barber has also had the privilage of performing with a vareity of renowned msuicians and groups. The purity her voice brings and the earthy soulfulness of Irish music is a good mix. Her first CD, Traveling Home, is a great example of what Celtic music today should sound like.

She currently performs with some of the best traditional musicians in what is known as The Allison Barber Band. What they offer is traditional and contemporary music that is fun and exciting. Add her haunting vocals with the energy of the arrangments of jigs and reels, and it is a sound that audiences will not soon forget.
