“Talent, humility, and a genuine spirit are all words that
describe
Allison Short. There is no
doubt
Allison is blessed with God's favor. Her passion
for music is only outshined by her passion for God,”
says Rev. Chip Harbin, Evangelist and
Director of The Victor Ministry in North Carolina.
Singing since age 3, Allison has always loved music. In high school, she won a
contest
which allowed her to sing onstage with
Christian singing group Plus One and in 2002 she
traveled as a soloist with the Continental
Singers on their “Live It Up” tour. She currently
performs at Women’s Conferences, local
coffee houses and in numerous churches across
the country.
Allison’s vocal influences include the powerful voices of Cece Winans, Janna
Long (Avalon),
Kelly Clarkson and Christy Nockels
(Watermark). She has a love for a variety of genres of
music ranging from country to blues to rock
to gospel, not unlike her debut album, “Only
for a Season.”
“Only for a Season,” is the first album recorded under the Heartlight Records
label which is
the contemporary counterpart of Son Sound
Music Group in Bessemer City,
NC.
Partnering
with Allison on this album were Mark Fain
on bass (Ricky Skaggs), David Johnson (SGMA
Musician of the Year), drummer Rick
Murray (Bebo Norman), and Grammy Nominated Richard
Putnam on keyboards.
Filled with songs that reflect her love for God and a variety of musical styles,
there is something
for everyone on this album. Two of the
stand out tracks on this album include, “He Is” which
has a traditional gospel sound and “All
Along”—an inspirational tune with powerhouse vocals.
“I love singing my heart out,” explains
Allison, who believes you should hold nothing back from
God.
Allison’s music touches people in all walks of life and as a result many have
given their lives to
Christ. Her hope is that through the music
she presents, unbelievers will come to know Jesus as
their personal Savior and believers will be
encouraged to finish the race. “I want my joy to be so
contagious that the world can’t help but
notice that there’s something different about me, and that that
difference is Jesus. I pray continually
that I’ll keep an attitude of humility so that my focus stays on glorifying
Him and not on glorifying myself.”
