The Gnarlys Band Members

Allison - Lead Vocals & Percussion

I’ve been passionate about horses my whole life and decided to make a career out of it. Once I hit my 30’s I decided life was passing me by , so I started taking music more seriously. I trained with a classical voice coach and started hosting karaoke. I joined adult band camp for a 10 week program and was hooked. Since then I’ve been in two cover bands, and two recording projects, and I’m learning to play piano/keyboard. Performing for an audience is my favourite part of being in a band, seeing people on the dance floor having a blast, and forgetting about their problems for awhile. Now my goal is to one day combine both of my passions and sing while riding a horse.
