Fixing Me - Musik

Music Has Always Been In Allison Geddie’s Blood. At Twelve Years Old She Was Already Sowing The Seeds Of What Has Grown Into A Love Of Composing And Performing Music. Schooling Herself On Artists Like Ben Harper Alanis Morisette And Rob Thomas She Picked Up Her Father’s Guitar And Began Instinctually Writing Her Own Songs. By Fifteen She Booked Herself A Gig At A Local Café In Connecticut And Her Music Career Was Born. Allison’s Stunning Presence And Musical Ability Is Garnering Her An Ever-Growing Fan Base Which Isn’t Surprising Serious Music Fans Know A Good Thing When They Hear It. With Melodies Sometimes Delicate And Haunting Sometimes Raw And Unbridled Her Lyrics Hint At Life’s Deeper Darker Truths – Truths That Invoke In Listeners A Powerful And Palpable Sense Of Connection Inspiration And Belonging. As A Result She’s Constantly Booked In Clubs Throughout L.A And Her Songs Have Been Featured On ABC’s “The View” And "All My Children." At The Behest Of Legendary Producer David Foster Songwriter And Producer Greg Critchley Whose Credits Include Miley Cyrus/Hannah Montana Michelle Branch And “High School Musical” Enthusiastically Took On The Task Of Producing Geddie’s Debut Album Which Features Nelly Furtado Guitarist Mike Krompass And Goo Goo Dolls Guitarist Greg Suran. Geddie’s Intelligent Thought-Provoking Lyrics Reveal Stunning Layers Of Her Vulnerability And Are Often Reflective Of Relationships And Transitions In Her Life. She Says “When I Was Seventeen I Played A Song For A Girl Who Was A Few Years Older Than Me And She Had To Leave The Room Because She Was Crying. And I Discovered That People Can Relate To My Music And I Felt Honored That Someone Really Got My Songs That She Was Living Inside Of My Words. I Felt Heard.” Geddie’s Signature Style Reveals Itself In Melodies And Lyrics That Often Take Unpredictable And Surprising Turns Riveting The Listener With Stunning Depth Power And Beauty Haunting Them For Days And Weeks To Follow. Her Songs Range From The Self-Effacing “Fixing Me” Where She Writes “I’m Trying To Live And Let Be/ But I Can’t Control My Thoughts./ I Want To Be True To You/ But The Liar Calls The Shots./ I Try To Be Everything That I Know I Want To Be./ It Feels Like Life Is Just One Long Road Of Fixing Me.” To Playful Lyrics Of Her Generation In Songs Like “What We Lived For The Starbucks Song ” Where She Croons “We’d Always Drive Our Car To Starbucks…/ And We’d Look For Our Fathers In 19 Year Olds.” As For Her First Record Everything You Don’t See She Says “I Wanted To Make A Beautiful Album. I Have A Wide Variety Of Songs And I Wanted To Keep The Beauty Theme Running Throughout. We Added Cello And Chimes And Piano. I Wanted To Make Sure That The Album Stayed Close To The Way I Wrote The Songs On The Acoustic Guitar Organic Yet With All The Added Elements Of The Band.” The Songs Are At Times Slow And Dark At Times Riveting And Raw. Her Refreshing Vulnerability Takes Us To A Place Where She Is Willing To Courageously Bare Her Naked Psyche Like The Album’s Title Suggests Letting Listeners In On Her Most Private Emotions And Thoughts. The Range We See From Geddie In Her First Album Is Both Masterful And Fresh Just Like Her Performances With A Sense Of Consistency Not Usually Seen In A Debut Record. With Her Rare Combination Of Deep Intelligence And Stunning Beauty She Has Simultaneously Created A Classic Sound That Seems Warm And Familiar And Yet Is Completely Original Destined To Win Hearts From The Get-Go. read less
