Allison Sattinger is making her debut Pocatello performance next weekend. I caught up with Allison to find out about her music, her background and this upcoming show.

SLG: Describe your genre of music? What are your three best crowd-pleasing songs? Can you explain in what way do you most appeal to your fans?

AS: Matt, Phil and I play a combination of folk, Americana, blues and jazz, in no particular order. People say they feel better after one of our shows; that's the general feedback we get, a sense of healing, which is a very nice compliment.

SLG: Who's in the band and how long has this line-up been together?

AS: We've been playing together for three years now.

AS: We're playing at Portneuf Valley Brewing on May 23rd at 8:30 PM. It's located at 615 1st Avenue. People can expect to be happier than when they first arrived!

SLG: Any comments about the local live music scene, the music industry in general? What do you think is the best way to get your music out there?
