About
Montreal-born, Nashville-based Allison Russell is a Grammy, Juno, Americana, SOCAN, and
Folk Award–winning artist and Polaris Prize–shortlisted singer-songwriter, producer, author,
actor, and human rights advocate.
Her acclaimed solo debut Outside Child (2021) was followed by The Returner (2023), released
via Concord/Fantasy. Prior to her solo work, she co-founded and toured internationally with
Po’Girl, Birds of Chicago, and Our Native Daughters, and remains an active collaborator with
OND and a member of Joni Mitchell’s Joni Jam.
In 2024, Russell joined Hozier’s Unreal Unearth tour across the U.S. and Europe, with their duet
“Wildflower & Barley” earning her first Billboard Hot 100 entry. Her Rainbow Coalition ensemble
and All Returners tour continued through 2025 across Australia and North America. She also
co-wrote “Human Mind” with Hozier for Mavis Staples.
Russell has received eight Grammy nominations and one win, alongside multiple honors
including Americana Award nominations and Album of the Year, a Juno Award for Contemporary
Roots Album of the Year, International Folk Music Awards, Canadian Folk Music Awards, and
UK Americana Awards. She was also named Billboard Women in Music Canada’s Breakthrough
Artist of the Year and shortlisted for the Polaris Prize.
She made her Broadway debut as Persephone in Anaïs Mitchell’s Hadestown in November
2024 and has since completed a second run in the role. Offstage, Russell is a powerful
advocate and organizer, curating the historic Once and Future Sounds set at Newport Folk
Festival and co-founding Love Rising, which has raised over $550,000 in support of LGBTQIA+
communities.
Her forthcoming memoir will be published by Little, Brown, and her third album is slated for
release in 2026.
