Teri Alison
Lead Vocals
Teri may not have been born on stage... but it was close! It's rumored that she danced before she walked -- Always singing, performing for family and wearing out the record player needle playing songs over and over. At eight, she sang "Rhinestone Cowboy" with a local band on stage for a large crowd. That little taste of the stage hooked her. She watched every show about music... "The Osmonds". "Soul Train", "Solid Gold", and "American Bandstand". As a teen, she discovered Pat Benatar's "Crimes of Passion" album during a summer with her sister and by summer's end that tape was spent. After that summer she sang all the time. At home, with friends, in choir and just about any place she could get away with it.
A friend suggested she try Weekend Warriors and join a band. It was a success - she's still hooked on performing. That Warrior band provided her a second shot fronting a band and she kicked it off with "Hit Me with your Best Shot". Ever since, Teri has been giving it her best shot fronting several bands including Unlicensed Therapy, Straight Shooter and Press Play
