Allison Lupton Trio
Allison , Shane and Kyle are a talented Canadian trio. Shane is a National Fiddle Champion and Kyle a Grand Master Step Dancing Champion
Allison Lupton hails from the heart of rural Ontario, Canada where her love for music took root in church choirs and local sessions. Along the way Allison has received accolades from international press as well as her peers at home winning Folk Music Ontario’s “Songs From The Heart” and multiple Canadian Folk Music Award nominations including “Traditional Singer of the Year”.
Allison is now touring her album “Words of Love” joined by Canadian and US Grand National fiddle champion Shane Cook and CFMA Solo Instrumental Artist of the Year and Canadian Grand Master Step Dance champion Kyle Waymouth. Live shows confirm the depth of talent in a glorious mix of beautiful story songs, electrifying fiddle tunes and dazzling step dance united by the trio’s warm and humorous stage presence.
