Allison Weiss

Allison Amling Weiss (born April 13, 1987) is a New York-based indie-pop singer-songwriter. In late 2009, Weiss created a Kickstarter project to press her first full-length. After reaching her goal in 10 hours and tripling it over 2 months, she became a poster-child for internet promotion and appeared in The New York Times, Wired Magazine, and as a panelist at SXSW 2010.

Biography
Weiss first picked up a guitar at age 14 in an attempt to become a punk rock star and impress her high school crush. Though the plan was somewhat successful, the teenage romance died after one short month. Her undying love for music lived on. Across the next five years, Weiss would move from her hometown to pursue a degree in Graphic Design

Live Songs
In 2008, Weiss recorded a live album at Sidewalk NYC, appropriately titled "Live at Sidewalk NYC". It was released as a free album on Weiss's bandcamp page. The blog Kissing Tigers called it a "delightful introduction...for those who were up until now unfamiliar with her work"

Associated acts
Weiss has toured and performed with a number of artists in the Brooklyn NYC music scene including Bess Rogers, Lelia Broussard and Jenny Owens Young. More recently, she has toured with Field Mouse, playing Bass Guitar, and performed with Brooklyn Synth-Pop duo, Mitten.
