Bio
Allison Leroux is an Ontario-based fiddle player, dance caller, teacher, and cultural facilitator. Whether performing on festival and rodeo stages, in the classroom/dance hall, or joining a late-night jam session, she is passionate about creating spaces where people can connect through music.
Allison has become an active presence in Canada’s traditional and country music communities. She performs regularly with a variety of artists and bands, and is known for her adaptability on stage, having been awarded a Lieutenant Governor’s award for heritage conservation and most recently nominated for a MARTY award.
She draws inspiration from her grandfather, who played traditional French-Canadian tunes on harmonica, among other musical family members, and is excited to grow as a touring country fiddle player.
