“Her lilting voice and heartfelt lyrics are eerily close to the work of the late British songstress Sandy Denny, the highest compliment I could hand down to this brilliant artist.\u201d- Paste Magazine<\/p>\n

Allysen Callery is a self taught singer songwriter from Bristol , Rhode Island , whose delicate, mesmerizing sound has been compared to classic British folk artists like Sandy Denny and Nick Drake .
\nA favorite on the RI folk scene, her music has found it’s way overseas and has been embraced by listeners in the UK and Europe. <\/p>\n

2020 saw the release of \u201cGhost Folk\u201d, an album which made Folk Radio UK\u2019s coveted Top Albums of the year, and Austria\u2019s Guteshoerenistwichtig named it Album of the year saying : \u201cSomehow she seems to come from somewhere else. Traveled through the clouds or gone through the stones. Her music is neither spooky nor eerie, but rather surrounded by a kind of positive mysticism and a familiar strangeness, radiating charm and a generous flair.\u201d<\/p>\n
