GENRE: Rock / Indie / Alternative

BIOGRAPHY:

Alison Pipitone writes the sort of empty, desolate, beautiful folk music that people spend their whole lives either chasing or avoiding. She's a powerful concoction of lyric-driven, folky alternative rock with sharp 100-proof melodies and scorching full-on performances. "...Pipitone has for some time been Buffalo's most reliable roots-rocker, though that term fails to capture the roughshod, ripped-knee glory of her band's blend of folk, rock 'n roll, country, and punk, nor Pipitone's sneer-to-a-smile stage persona." -Jeff Miers, BUFFALO NEWS

She was the winner of the Buffalo Music Award for Top Original Female Vocalist for six consecutive years. Her band, winners of the Top Original Rock Band in 2005, features the combined talents of Patrick Shaughnessy on drums, Graham Howes on guitar and Jim Whitford on bass. Their latest release, Me and Miss Grimes, has been highly acclaimed. "She writes songs with melodic hooks that grab you by the ear and won't let go, she sings with a sense of abandon not heard since Chrissie Hynde's early days in the Pretenders, and her band is invariably as tight as a snare head." -Jim Trageser, trageser.com

The Alison Pipitone Band has warmed the stage for a who's who of rock pioneers and practitioners: Joan Jett & the Blackhearts, the Bacon Brothers, Martha Wainwright, Barenaked Ladies, 5440, Lowest of the Low and many others.They have toured extensively over the years, winning new fans from coast to coast.
