Allison Shapira

Allison Shapira is a recovering opera singer inspired by Joan Baez and Judy Collins. She has been described as having "a voice that's simultaneously rich, honeyed, dense, and altogether quite beautiful" by Leicester Bangs. An internationally-renowned singer/songwriter and public speaker, she has both performed and spoken on stages around the world, from Argentina to Japan to South Africa to Fenway Park. She uses the power of authentic storytelling to create an emotional bond with her audience, blending original songs, traditional music, and the repertoire of Joan Baez and Bob Dylan to create her own unique performance experience. Allison is part of the nationally acclaimed duo Joan & Joni, a musical tribute to Joan Baez and Joni Mitchell, with music partner Kipyn Martin.
