Allison Kraus

  • She/Her
  • Biography

    Yes, Allison has heard of the bluegrass singer. Yes, she is also sad she is not her.

    Allison is a writer and musician with a flair for the unconventional. A versatile performer, educator, and all-around music junkie, Allison is adept at weaving from genre to genre. Her compositional work includes pieces for piano, choir, theatre, and electronic mediums. She has quickly become a go-to pianist and guitarist around the NYC cabaret scene, performing at such iconic venues like Don't Tell Mama, The Tank, Caveat, and The Cutting Room.

    Allison made her off-Broadway debut as the music director for "TinyTanic: The Musical" at the SoHo Playhouse, which ran in May and July 2022. She has taught around the city at institutes such as Atlantic Acting School and Amas Musical Theatre, is a member of the BMI Musical Theatre Writing Workshop, and is a professional choir nerd with the Cathedral Chorale of St. John the Divine Chorale.

    In order to maintain the starving artist lifestyle, Allison is a 9 to 5 corporate video editor and producer, where she works mostly in educational content for businesses and thought leaders. Reach out if you ever need a demo reel!
