Singer/guitarist/songwriter Frank Allison hails from Ann Arbor, MI, where he is considered one of pop's best kept secrets by many. Equally influenced by the Beatles as he is by Irving Berlin, Allison has been issuing albums since the early '90s, either as a solo artist or with his band, the Odd Sox. With a talent for storytelling within his songs, if you can't sample Allison's talents in its natural setting (coffeeshops or intimate venues), you can check out such albums as Hokey Smoke, the live Pig Out, Monkey Business, or Workman's Meal. ~ Greg Prato
