ALLISON MILLER'S BOOM TIC BOOM CD RELEASE PARTY
(Myra Melford, piano; Jenny Scheinman, violin; Todd Sickafoose, bass; Allison Miller, drums)

NYC-based drummer Allison Miller defies all boundaries bringing her individual sound to diverse types of music while preserving their stylistic authenticity. Allison goes from playing with legendary songwriting vocalists Ani DiFranco, Brandi Carlile and Natalie Merchant, to touring with avant-garde saxophonist Marty Ehrlich and legendary organist Doctor Lonnie Smith. She approaches each of these musical situations with her own stylistic identity and a creative, fresh and energetic approach. Allison was chosen as "Rising Star Drummer" in Downbeat's 53rd Annual Critics Poll.

Cover is $10. For more information visit http://www.allisonmiller.com.
