Allyson Paige | Vocals
“A 5' 10" woman with Viking blood and a voice that could fill most clubs without amplification sweetly conquering all within earshot” —Jeff Kaliss, San Francisco Chronical
Allyson Paige has made a name for herself throughout the San Francisco Bay Area as a result of her powerful, sultry voice and exceptional ability to cut across musical genres. Allyson makes the songs she sings her own—just ask the folks at Slims, The Great American Music Hall, The Sweetwater Saloon, The Mystic Theatre, and festivals and special events all over the Bay Area. Allyson delivers memorable, table-pounding performances with raw emotional power. |

Chris Stafford | Guitar
As a sideman in the early '90s, Chris played in big-bands behind numerous old-school jazz artists such as Red Rodney and Joe Defrancesco. His stylistic virtuosity has led to his recording with Bay Area musicians including Frank Martin, Mark VanWageningen, Paul Van Wageningen, and Dolly Rappaport. As a songwriter he has written and arranged songs for his own solo project as well as for independent film. Chris is one of the millions of men who fell hopelessly in love with Joni without ever having met her. |
