Grammy-winning artist Allison Russell is a weaver of stories and tales through the medium of music. Since the release of her first solo album three years ago, the self-taught singer, songwriter, poet, activist, and multi-instrumentalist has redefined what artistry means in the 21st century. From her devastatingly moving celebration of survivors' joy through Outside Child to the body-shaking, mind-expanding, soulful expression of Black liberation that is The Returner, Russell's music exceeds all reasonable (and unreasonable) expectations and affirms her place among today's most vital artists.
Various honors include her Grammy win for Best American Roots Performance for the powerful single "Eve Was Black" alongside 7 additional nominations, the Juno Award for Contemporary Roots Album of the Year, the Americana Music Association's 2023 Spirit of Americana Award & 2022 Album of the Year Award, two International Folk Music Awards, three Canadian Folk Music Awards, and four UK Americana Music Awards.
Alongside the Rainbow Coalition Band - a talented ensemble of Black and POC, queer, and historically marginalized musicians from across the U.S. - Russell uses the power of music in order to spread her message of the "Beloved Community" and is dedicated to lifting others upwards as her own star climbs higher.

Allison Russell is a beautiful singer, songwriter, woman. Absolutely wonderful show. Can't wait to see her at the Juno Awards.
This was a beautiful show from start to finish, it filled my heart right up! The venue was beautiful too; the only thing that would have improved it was more washroom access! Just a gorgeous show.
Allison Russell is amazing in her albums but even better live. Her voice, and her outstanding clarinet and banjo playing as well as her incredible songwriting skills were in full abundance at this event, where she truly connected with the audience, and with the other musicians. Everyone was outstanding, including the opening act. I would return to this exact same show tomorrow if I could. Very well done.
Spectacular show. Amazing performance. What a treat to be in the audience. Your messages on love, equality, tolerance and respect are welcome anthems for our times.
Allison Russell and her band were fantastic, as was the opening artist Aysanabee. She was so full of energy and positivity and delivered a heartfelt performance that made me like her even more than I did before the show. What an incredible talent. Looking forward to seeing her again - I hope she comes back to Toronto soon!
I actually went see the first musician Aysanabee. I wasn’t familiar with Allison Russell but wow was that an amazing surprise! What a talent and such incredible energy! This was a very memorable concert.
Allison Russell was magnificent!! So original, so lyrical and the show was so varied and interesting. Her all "beloved chosen sister"band was incredible and musically very tight. The Bella concert hall is a great venue with great sightlines. My only criticism is not for Allison or the band but for the sound. The words were muddy both for Aysanabee ( the opening act) and for the first set of Allison's show. The sound improved but was not perfect for the second set. The vocals should rise above the instruments. The Bella has great acoustics so this should not be a problem but it was.
I cannot say enough how awesome this concert was! What a pleasure to watch. She has such a dynamic, and heartwarming personality. It was a moving and beautiful experience and I hope anyone who has the opportunity to go will!
Allison and Band were excellent, music, heart and soul combined for a wonderful evening. We did expect better sound in the venue, hard to hear the words clearly for the warm up and with Allison. A real treat! 👍🏻
