Press

“Allegra’s voice is definitely the instrument that shines above all at her performances. She sings with a rich soul in her voice like Adele, but with the soft finesse of Natalie Merchant. Allegra has the ability to project her voice to the back of the room with power and clarity, and then transition to a soft falsetto which sucks you in emotionally. I appreciated Allegra’s gutsy vocal style because so many female vocalists today resort to a little girl voice which I don’t find impressive. Another thing that made her stand out was her ability to vamp and scat during certain songs. This came across as unforced and natural which is not easy, and she seemed to revel in those moments. Some singers have a weak thin voice and rely on the PA system as a crutch, but not Allegra.”

— Vince Meehan, Mission Valley Troubadour

“It’s not easy standing out in today’s overwhelmed acoustic music scene, but singer-songwriter Allegra Barley...manages to do so, using a tried and true gimmick; ace songwriting. Winner of the 2009 San Diego Songwriters Guild competition, she is at home in a solo or group setting, her hook-filled tunes and dry wit an excellent choice for a night out. While Barley is not adverse to throw in the occasional crowd pleasing cover, it’s her original material that resonates most with audiences. ”

— Bart Mendoza, San Diego Community Newspaper Group

"[She's] played in some of the city’s most iconic venues including House of Blues, Anthology and Belly Up Tavern, [and] admits to a strong appreciation for intimate venues"

— Angie Brenner Matthias, La Jolla Patch

"Allegra's vocals are almost impossible to liken to any one performer. Imagine Etta James meets Ella Fitzgerald meets Alanis meets Janice Joplin."

— Dave Rodger, (((Live))) Entertainment Matters
