“Tartalia is to pop music what granola is to cereal.” – NYRock.com.
Indeed, Allison is not your run-of the-mill songwriter. Her unconventional arrangements, brutally honest lyrics, and wry humor make for performances that are as unforgettable as they are unpredictable. Audiences are taking notice at clubs, colleges and festivals around the country.
A classically trained pianist and multi-instrumentalist, Allison draws upon diverse influences to create her unique brand of orchestral chamber pop. The NY Times calls Allison a “singer with a sultry voice” and The Village Voice wrote “This native New Yorker’s debut CD sounds legitimately more jazzy than folky—smack-dab in the Laura Nyro/Ricki Lee Jones/Sophie B. Hawkins lineage.” Recently, Allison was named a finalist in the Solarfest Songwriter Showcase, and other tunes have been recognized by the Billboard and John Lennon Songwriting Contests.
Allison’s insatiable passion for anything musical has led her to develop an impressive and eclectic resume. In 2007, Allison’s first foray into musical theatre as composer and arranger, 1918: A House Divided, was produced by the Pulitzer Prize-winning Theater for the New City, and an original cast recording was released in 2008. A second collaboration with Kahn, Birds on Fire, will premiere at Theater for the New City in March 2011. Recently, Allison was nominated for an Emmy and received a bronze Telly for the score to the documentary 5,000 Miles From Home, for which she was a co-composer. She has also performed as a singer with Petra Haden and the Sellouts and can be heard playing piano on numerous independent recordings.
Her latest EP, Sweet and Vicious, produced by Michael Leonhart (Steely Dan, Lenny Kravitz, Yoko Ono), will be released this Spring.
