Name Allison Weiss
Location Atlanta/Brooklyn
First Post December 2007At fifteen, Allison Weiss picked up a guitar and decided to be a punk rock star in an effort to win over her high school crush. The relationship didn’t last long, but her passion for music has. She spent five years in Athens, Georgia playing every show she could get: open mics, festivals, street corners. She recorded and released albums, booked tours, and built a dedicated fanbase, all while getting her degree in graphic design. And today, literally today, she’s driving a 16-foot truck filled with all her belongings up to Brooklyn to embark on a new phase in her life and career.
