Who is Bobby Allison?
You are NOT from the Coast!
If Bobby Allison’s voice were a color it would be brown----deep chestnut brown, with surprising flecks of gold. As comfortable as an old pair of broken-in jeans, Bobby’s music is relaxing and familiar. He knows what his audience wants and he knows how to deliver.
Allison’s repertoire includes a variety of musical styles. Bobby is equally comfortable finger-pickin’ a special blend of sentimental favorites with his acoustic guitar as he is kickin’ in his full blown band sound that he creates in his studio with an array of modern audio equipment. Bobby surprises the listener leaving them to wonder how one man can sound like so many!
Whether he’s pickin’ the blues or beltin’ out some high powered rockin’ oldie, or softly crooning a 40’s Torch Tune, he creates a musical journey giving the listener a true sense of travel through timeless memories then brings them back to the present with his easy “talking to you” style.
Bobby welcomes request from the stage which offers audiences endless list of familiar tunes and fresh originals.
Bobby Allison enjoys performing his one-man show in a variety of venues including concerts, casino lounges, conventions, special organizations and an occasional private party. As an Epic Recording Artist, Bobby has shared the stage with numerous national acts qualifying his talents to any interested parties. Bobby enjoyed 13 years as entertainer-in-residence at Casino Magic, Bay St. Louis, before Hurricane Katrina, racking up an impressive following from all over the country.
Whether he is playing in front of thousands of pickin’ a few tunes for some friends, Bobby Allison has a way of drawing you in with his music with his warm personality and his ability to surprise the listener with an endless list of memories.
