Allison Lupton Band

Allison Lupton hails from the heart of rural Ontario, Canada where her love for music took root in church choirs and local sessions.  From playing for community dances to soloing with orchestras, Allison has found her voice as a singer-songwriter and flutist after more than a quarter century performing in Canada and abroad.  Along the way Allison has received accolades from international press as well as her peers at home winning Folk Music Ontario's "Songs From The Heart" and multiple Canadian Folk Music Award nominations including “Traditional Singer of the Year”.

Allison is now touring her new album “Step Up Molly” joined by a band of all stars: mandolin maestro Andrew Collins, Canadian and US Grand National fiddle champion Shane Cook, virtuoso bassist and multi-instrumentalist Joseph Phillips and CFMA Solo Instrumental Artist of the Year and 5X Canadian Grand Master Step Dance champion Kyle Waymouth. Live shows confirm the depth of talent in a glorious mix of beautiful story songs, electrifying fiddle tunes and dazzling step dance united by the band’s warm and frequently humourous stage presence. Woven through performances are Allison’s original songs which fit so perfectly into the treasury of folk music that they could easily be mistaken for traditional numbers.  

Allison and her band carry audiences away to another time then dance them home again.
