Allison Weiss – How to Be Alone
Biography
Brooklyn NY, United States
Weiss first picked up a guitar at age 14 in an attempt to become a punk rock star and impress her high school crush, and though the teenage romance died after one short month, her passion for music lived on.
After moving to Athens, GA in 2005, Weiss spent the next five years in and out of various pseudo-relationships which fueled the fire for one infectious breakup song after another. She toured the southeast relentlessly and wrote constantly, self-releasing three EPs and a fan-funded full length album by the end of 2009.
At the same time, Weiss quietly built up a dedicated internet fanbase and a reputation for shameless self promotion. She gained recognition in the music community for her effective grassroots marketing techniques and spoke on a 2010 SXSW panel about crowdfunding, all while earning a BFA at the University of Georgia.

I officially would like to marry her. She's diabetes-inducingly sweet and so full of talent, intellect and a very special person, I'm sure.

She should really release more music soon. Cause I totally don't have everything she's ever released and listened to it all a million times. Cause that would be weird and stuff.

Yesterday evening I went looking for Dylan's Don't Think Twice It's Allright on YouTube. Couldn't find the original, but I did find this girl doing an allright job on it. I checked some other clips - they turned out to be a lot more than just plain 'allright'. Now I'm hooked. This is really great stuff. Especially the lyrics. Gonna order her album when I get my pay, but for now the *free* live album on her website will do :) She should come to the Netherlands too! Haha.
