DAVE ALLEN: I started playing drums at a young age. My first gigs were as the host drummer at Blues Jams – where I learned how to improvise, think fast, and play many styles of music. Even back then, whenever a drummer would show up, I would grab my harmonica or a guitar, and get up front for a few tunes. After that I spent many years learning the studio, doing demos and recording friends and myself, until along came the “Whitfield-Ward Band.” This band played our bar years, then private functions all over the country. I began to step out front more playing the guitar and the harmonica. I have always dearly loved the blues, and began to get more actively involved with being in a blues band of my own. During this time I owned a recording studio, where I performed on and produced many albums over the years, from all genres of music and people. Having a studio really helped me develop into being in front of the blues band. The Allen-Lamun Band is the culmination of writing and becoming the blues band I always hoped for.

LAURA LAMUN: I loved singing as a child, and I was fortunate to have a Director-Mother who gave me performance opportunities starting at the age of 5, and had me making money singing by the time I was eleven. I also had a very supportive and talented Father, with this HUGE singing voice you just had to listen to! Singing was something our whole family loved to do together, and I practiced harmonies with them singing Peter. Paul and Mary in the car, and entertaining with my sister Lisa.

A fated meeting with Dave Allen turned me in the absolute correct direction – TOWARD THE BLUES!! I co-founded our first blues band with DaveAllen in 2007 called “Little Laura & the Nude Blues Band” during which some highlights include opening for JJ Grey & Mofro twice. This band morphed over the years and would set the stage for our current inspiration as the “Allen-Lamun Band.” We have begun our journey as a powerful pairing and are becoming most well-known for our duet sound. Recording our latest CD with Dave Allen was a wonderful experience, and we are writing songs now for our next one.

Fresh, original Blues and Funk, with great vocals and great grooves, this album includes a few classic blues standards, as well as some new and inspired tunes destined to become standards.

The variety of feels and styles on the album will keep surprising the listener with singable, memorable songs.

This project represents a coming together of seasoned musicians to produce their own New Sound in the Blues, incorporating rocking vocals, ripping solos and always awesome grooves into the genre! Played mostly live, it is a testament to the quality players (and engineers) that the actual recording was so easy!

Fun and fast-moving - this is excellent driving music, working and playing music - and will please listeners of all interests.
