BIO

Victoria based singer-songwriter Allen Dobb is touring in support of Alone Together, a new full-length album released in February 2024. The album, his fourth solo release, is a skillfully crafted collection of Americana-style songs inspired by stories, landscapes, and characters Dobb has encountered working as a range management specialist in the BC Interior.  Alone Together was produced by brother and long-time collaborator Cameron Dobb, who also plays keyboards, accordion, guitar and lap steel in the live band along with Scott White on upright bass, and Katrina Kadoski on acoustic guitar, banjo, and vocals. The group captures the spacious, acoustic, and sonic richness of the new album, and more. Allen is also performing solo, and as a duo with Katrina Kadoski.

Steeped in rural roots growing up on a farm in northwestern Alberta near the foothills of the Rocky Mountains, Allen brings depth and maturity to the songs.  His narratives explore complexities of the heart on tracks like “All Costs”, “Here and Now” and “Alone Together” and look back at the country’s colonial past in “Black and White 1912”, “Crooked River,” and “Frontier Justice.”  The melodies are carried by acoustic guitar, mandolin, banjo, lap steel, and piano and in arrangements that always create just the right sonic space for his soulful baritone vocal. 

Allen Dobb’s musical journey has taken him to Austin, Texas, Nashville, TN, Lesotho, Southern Africa, and places in between. He has performed at the Edmonton, Winnipeg, and Mariposa folk festivals and the legendary Bumbershoot Festival in the U.S. He has toured the U.K. and shared the stage with a diverse group of artists including Shawn Colvin, Jann Arden, Jesse Winchester, Peter Case, Darden Smith, Stephen Fearing, Roy Forbes, and Ziggy Marley.
