Allison Thrash was born in Dallas, Texas, as the youngest of the three
children of Patricia Francis and John Thrash. Her mother had been the lead
singer for several Los Angeles bands and her father had sung throughout
college and was offered second chair for the Houston Symphony Orchestra
playing the French horn. Both parents loved music and sang throughout
Allison\'s childhood, passing along the joy of singing, playing and
performing to all three children.

From first to the twelfth grade, Allison was either singing with the school
choirs or providing piano accompaniment. Although her parents\' roots were in
central Tennessee and eastern Kentucky, her family moved from Dallas to
Oklahoma City to Pasadena, and then finally Houston, Texas. Allison studied
voice and music history while in college, although her B.A. was finally in
Philosophy. While attending Saint Louis University, Allison studied operatic
technique under tenor Joseph Beck. While in Houston, she spent a year under
the instruction of vocalist Ray Sullenger where she studied such greats as
Nat King Cole, Anita O\'Day, Billie Holiday and Cole Porter.

While living in Houston, Allison sang Big Band with the Ray Sullenger Combo,
Jazz with the Bayou City Preservation Jazz Band, Pop with Split Image, and
Country Blues with Two of Hearts.

After Houston, Allison achieved her goal of making the journey to her Mecca:
Austin, Texas. She and her family of four black Labrador retrievers settled
on several acres at Lake Travis. While Allison worked as a lobbyist and
professional development director for a statewide educational association,
she made several trips to Nashville and recorded an unreleased country blues
album under the name of Liz Lindsey. The single, I Wanna Take Care of You,
was released on a Nashville-based independent label and enjoyed regional
success throughout the eastern United States.

Since living in Austin, Allison has performed Pop with Kat & The Prowl,
Country with Low Water Crossing, R&B with Filet of Soul, and her own sultry
Blues at such venues as La Zona Rosa, the Broken Spoke, the Saxon Pub,
Scholz Garden and the 311 Club. She and her pack live at Lake Travis where
she works on her music and other projects at Labrador Hill.

She has recently achieved another goal by completing her new full-length CD
of Blues songs called, \"Talking Thrash\". The CD is comprised of ten
originals about women who love men...a lot. She will be forever grateful to
the generous contributors to the CD which include David Breaux, David Love,
Ephraim Owens, Philippe Vieux, Matt Hubbard, Jan Paul Yenawine and her
amazing, selfless family.

Allison is presently performing and promoting her latest CD as a
singer-songwriter artist, and she is shopping these and more original songs
to other established acts. Allison\'s independent record label is Head On
Records and her publishing company is Labrador Hill Music.
