Brian Allison is a Nashville-based Americana singer/songwriter originally from the Chicagoland area and a two-time Josie Music Award winner—earning Americana Artist of the Year (Male) and Americana Song of the Year for “Worth Breaking.” A full-time musician since 2016, Brian carries on a deep family legacy of music. His grandfather, Lynn Allison, sang and played saxophone and clarinet in the Glenn Miller Army Air Force Band, and his grandmother, Gloria Van, was a celebrated big band vocalist.
