BIOGRAPHY

Allen has enjoyed singing and songwriting since his grade-school days, but has just recently stepped up the amount of time dedicated to his music. Allen's published work to date has been in conjunction with the Acappella Company, contributing songs and vocals for the groups "The Vocal Union", "Acappella" and "AVB" (All Vocal Band). He also writes music in the CCM, Folk, Pop and Country genres, and plays guitar and piano to accompany his vocals. He's currently an active member of NSAI and contributes monthly to the local chapter workshop. Aside from his ultimate responsibilities as a husband and father of three, and with whatever time is left after the day-job takes its share, he hones his craft by working on his own songs, collaborating with co-writers, recording demo tracks, and offering his services as a demo vocalist. Allen lives in Denver, CO.

Robbie Robertson

As a member of The Band, Robbie Robertson changed the course or rock music history, hipping the genre to a more old-timey sound with songs like “The Weight,” “Up On Cripple Creek,” and “The Night They Drove Old Dixie Down.” His latest solo album, How To Become Clairvoyant, reflects on his rock and roll past.
