Calling Wendy is a band based in Toronto, Canada. The band is reminiscent of an updated Fleetwood Mac. They draw on a grab-bag of diverse musical influences, mixing everything from Blondie to The Cars to Patty Griffin and Lucinda Williams. The combination of all of Calling Wendys talents has been best described by The Lonely Vagabond (Stillepost.ca) as An angelic musical force.

Alison and Chris S. signed to Universal with MAdE in 1996. The band released two albums with Universal, before leaving the label after the Universal/Polygram merger. The band disbanded in 2002, leaving Alison to search for a new musical direction. A drummer throughout her early career, Alison began writing her own songs. With no expectation, she submitted a demo version of her song PlayTennessee to the MIX 99.9 Standard Radio Songwriting Competition in Canada. To her complete surprise, the song won the Regional competition, and then won the National competition. Tennessee then went on to place second in the prestigious Unisong International Songwriting Contest in the AAA category, cementing Alisons reputation as a songwriter to watch.
