A Short Bio

Allison M. Fox began her career in music over a decade ago in her hometown of West Hartford, CT. It was there that she first studied and fell in love with music performance while playing her primary instruments: drums and percussion. She decided to further her education at the University of Delaware where she was a member of Jazz Bands, Steel Bands, Symphonic Bands, Pit Orchestras, Percussion Ensembles, Marching Band, and The Jay Hoad Band. After graduating with a Bachelor’s Degree in Music and Minor in Jazz Studies, Alli moved to New Orleans, LA where her musical experiences and influences grew. In addition to developing as a performer, it was there that she first discovered the field of Music Therapy. Alli moved to NY to partake in an internship at the Institute for Music and Health before running her own rehabilitative music interventions in long term care facilities, day programs, and clients’ homes. Today she is a Therapeutic Recreation Director and Music Specialist at the Alzheimer’s Resource Center in Connecticut. She also teaches music lessons privately, and free-lances with local musicians and groups such as Kate Callahan, and Strings Attached. While drumming remains her area of expertise, she also enjoys playing guitar, piano, bass guitar, and singing. Alli is currently a Master of Arts degree candidate at Lesley University where she is studying Expressive Therapies and Music Therapy with a specialization in Mental Health Counseling. She intends to become a board certified Music Therapist and Licensed Professional Counselor and help people live healthier, happier, and more fulfilling lives through music.

Hey friends and followers!  A few very exciting updates:  

1) I just got back from a weekend workshop at the Omega Institute in Rhinebeck, NY where I participated in, "The Natural Singer" workshop under the direction of Claude Stein.  It changed my life for the better and I highly recommend anyone out there to check out the program and TAKE THE COURSE... it's about so much more than music...

2) I am now part of yet another new musical project entitled, Strings Attached.  We are an acoustic rock trio based out of Orange County, NY and feature unique renditions of many familiar favorites, as well as some of our own originals.  The group is made up of John Desibia, Jeannie Cassels, and myself, and between the three of us our sound includes percussion, guitar/s, bass, and of course vocals.  Check us out at http://stringsattachedny.weebly.com/  or "like" us on facebook at http://www.facebook.com/stringsattachedNY

What's New and Exciting

Hey everyone!

I feel like this is my latest catch-phrase, but I've been BUSY lately! I've been working overtime as a music specialist, plus teaching every Wednesday night. What I haven't told you all about is my gig on Thursday evenings when I co-host an open mic at the Holiday Inn in Middletown from 8-11 with the one and only, Frank Sorino. So if you find yourself in the area any given Thursday, stop by for some great food, drink, company, and of course, music!

Other upcoming performances:

Friday 2/17: The Frank Sorino All-Star Band at the Old Erie Hotel in Port Jervis 9-1
Tuesday 2/21: The Frank Sorino All-Star Band at Middletown Park 2-4
Friday 3/23: The Frank Sorino All-Star Band at the Old Erie Hotel in Port Jervis 9-1 ... This will also double as my quarter-century birthday celebration! Hope you can make it :o)
