Allison Russell

Multi-award-winning singer-songwriter Allison Russell will perform songs from her acclaimed album The Returner (2023), for which she received four Grammy nominations. Her earlier record earned Grammy, Juno, Americana Music and Folk Alliance International Awards. A Montreal native now living in Nashville, Russell is a poet, an activist, and a multi-instrumentalist.

One third of supergroup Our Native Daughters, together with fellow singer-songwriters Rhiannon Giddens, Leyla McCalla, and Amythyst Kiah, Russell is dedicated to centreing the long-lost story-tellings of Black women within the tradition of American folk music.
