Details:
"Over the past several years, San Francisco singer/songwriter Alison Faith Levy has had her hand in several disparate musical projects. From fronting her own piano-based outfit, to playing in the Loud Family, to film score commissions, her work runs the musical gamut."

San Francisco-based singer/songwriter Alison Faith Levy first attracted attention with her 1994 EP Grumbelina; its follow-up, the 1995 single "The Scientist," caught the ear of Loud Family frontman Scott Miller, who soon invited her to join his band.
She released here first solo album, "The Fog Show" in 1998, followed by "My World View" in 2000.
A sparse moody album, The Fog Show is part rainy day pop, part torch, and part blues, fueled by truly inspired arrangements and Levy's impassioned vocals and piano playing. The Fog Show is a stripped down affair, consisting of only piano, vocals, and one additional instrument per song. Produced by Chris Xefos (King Missile, Moth Wranglers), the songs on The Fog Show weave in and out of each other in a languid, melancholy, emotionally charged melodic trip. Take one part Red House Painters, one part Dusty Springfield, with a little dash of Carole King and Brian Wilson thrown in for good measure. Perfect for a cold night, a hot bath, and a bottomless glass of whiskey.

Alison Faith Levy is a keyboardist, vocalist and songwriter for the wildly successful psychedelic rock band for kids, The Sippy Cups. She recorded two albums and toured as the keyboardist in The Loud Family, performed in The Minstrel in the Galleries with John Wesley Harding, sings blues, jazz & country standards with acoustic guitar legend Dale Miller, and is the vocalist for avant-improv group Mushroom.
