Vocalist Allison Wheeler is an innovative composer of great sonic imagination and a versatile voice with a love for creative challenge. Although she cites influences such as Regina Spektor and Fiona Apple, she has been compared by critics to artists such as Becca Stevens and Gretchen Parlato, yet she creates a world uniquely her own. Jazz-like in structure, her music seamlessly crosses genre lines, drawing influence from her love of folk tradition and visual art to construct a realm of imagination fueled by improvisation, nostalgia and a love for impressionism. Her debut album as bandleader, Winterspring, was released in 2022 under the UK label Ubuntu Music.
Tour Guide Barbie is a captivating new presence on the indie alternative scene, blending the rich sounds of Americana and folk with the modern flair of synth pop and punk rock to produce a sound that is fresh and distinct.
Allison Wheeler – voc; Iva Korgerová – p, synths; Vladko Mikláš – g; Matěj Havlíček – b; Petr Nohavica – dr.
