Alison Thoms: A Baltimore -Washington-Annapolis area musician, Alison Thoms is a self-described “singer, songwriter, and strummer”. She is recognized by her
dynamic, wide-ranging vocals and relaxed, gently percussive strumming style.
She brings a soulful and sometimes edgy style to her performance of original
works and her interpretations of rock, pop, country, and blues songs written
during the last seven decades. Her rock-a-chill manner is said to capture the
likeness of Janis Joplin, Bonnie Raitt and Mary Chapin Carpenter.
A longtime performer, Alison recently made her way to the recording studio
where, to date, she has released 2 originals, with a third due in August of
2021. Her first single entitled “Just Getting Started” has been well received by
audiences and is the A side of her first vinyl…the beloved seven-inch record,
affectionately referred to by her generation as a 45. An album is scheduled for
release in Spring of 2022.
Alison regularly performs across the Mid-Atlantic region from the Eastern
seaboard to the WV panhandle. She plays a variety of venues that includes
festivals, private functions, & vineyards in addition to restaurant and bar
sponsored live performances. She also travels with a regional Southern Rock
inspired band providing both lead and backup vocals.
Alison is playing in front of the Tidewater on Saturday, June 19, from 11 AM to 2 PM
