Wait! while my record label is updating my press kit.

Basically, I'm a well rounded artist with a killer band that has a bunch of horns in it. I LOVE music, art, dance and music.  I like to produce one big show a year with dancers, and its usually funded in part by the City of Austin Cultural Contracts Division. I just received my biggest grant yet from the City of Austin to make a large outdoor glass sculpture at the Pleasant Hill Branch library.

I LOVE collaboration. My newest single is with Brazilian beauty Papisa. She has an all female band AND krewe. 

I like to STUDY music, and I just joined a classical symphony where I get to hone my chops as a site reader. 

I have sat in, recorded, or played live with these fine musical acts:
Cinematic Symphony (current member, Bari Sax) Los Coast, Papisa: Brazil, Ramsey Midwood, Bruce Salmon, Hungry March Band NYC, The Raindoggs, A Giant Dog, Minor Mishap Marching Band, Peelander Z, Mishka Shubaly, The Fleshtones, Nic Armstrong, David Dondero, SuperEgo, Double O Go-Go, Enduro, Pearly Gates, The Crack Pipes, Tim Kerr's Total Sound Direct Action Committee,  and many, many others!

My sound is unique, I'm not going to lie. It doesn't sound like any ONE other thing; but is reminiscent of trad jazz, lounge, electronic, and indie music. I'm basically a Jewish melting pot of Saxophone sound and was probably a Russian bordello lounge act in a former life. I LOVE singing! Or I would just be playing my sax around town, as I often do. I love writing! Or I would just be a player among players, as I love to be. I love performing! Or I would just sing my songs to myself and my dogs. I love having recordings of my music! Or I would just keep them posted up in my journal. Check out my fun photographs! >>> I like posing for the camera; though I'm particular about my collaborators and introverted. 

Thanks for stopping by!

All best, 

Allyson aka DD Dagger
