Bio
Born in Levittown, PA, Loretta Allen has gone to extremes to be anything but typically suburban. Early on, Loretta took to the road with a beat-up old Ovation and a even-more-beat-up Jetta. She played at gas stations earning her daily gas money to the next town. In California she realized she'd found her second home. Her sound is smooth, full, and melodic with heavy influences from folk music and good ol' rock n roll. People come back for the heartfelt story-songs and lively performan...

“(continued) With major influences of artists like Tori Amos, Jewel, Sarah McLachlan and The Beatles, Loretta has developed her own unique style that is innocent, yet wise, insightful and melodic. She is a highly sought after musician, playing many local upcoming events.
Loretta Allen has certainly made a name for herself in the area through her music. She explained to me that it was very hard at first because she was making great money pursuing her acting career. “It was tough being broke all the time and starting a brand new career,” but 10 years later and look at her – she is soaring like a bird and all of us here at The Out On The Town couldn’t be more proud of her. She has done all the right things, the right way, and continues to stay true to herself and her beliefs. Not many people can honestly say that. Loretta is a beautiful, yet old soul and her music will inspire you. ”
