Guitarist - Producer - Engineer - Songwriter
"New CD Available" A.D.D. Thursday Night Laundry Club

After playing in several successful local bands and working with John Palumbo of "Crack The Sky" fame on a CD for the band Falcon, Allen set up his own studio. Several of his songs have been published and the song "Don't Look Back" was released by Elvin Spencer on his "Pickin' Up The Pieces" CD, on the well respected Goldwax Records Label. The song was given a nice Memphis treatment; horns, B3, female background singers, and some smooth guitar work.
Currently Allen is playing and recording with A. D. D. and can be heard on the new CD "Thursday Night Laundry Club." The CD features instrumental, original music played with commitment, featuring melodic guitar and bass over top of contemporary keyboards and dynamic drumming.
