A Kilgore, Texas native, Ally began singing at church at four and picked up the guitar at age 12. By 13, she started her own band and through her early influence of Stevie Ray Vaughan captured the passion and yearning for more in the blues genre. Early releases No Glass Shoes (2016) and Puppet Show (2018) started her fanbase, charting radio play, and several East Texas Music Awards. It was 2019s #2 Billboard Blues charting Texas Honey and rocking sets on Rufs European Blues Caravan tour that propelled her internationally. Ally is the future of blues and the crossover music of American roots-rock. - Mike Zito.
