Have You Heard: Alison Ferrier

When did you start making music and why? I started off in a duo called The Wayward Fancies about ten years ago with Julianne Negri. We both loved old-time country and singing harmonies. We tried to write in that style too.

Sum up your musical sound in four words? Alt-countrified gorgeousness, sort of.

If you could only listen to one album forevermore, what would it be and why? Boomer's Story by Ry Cooder from 1972 is Americana at its very best and the production simply could not be beaten. It always makes me feel good when I listen to it.

Greatest rock'n'roll moment of your career to date? I once asked Tony Joe White for a glass of wine from his bottle (the Queenscliff Festival bar was shut). He replied, "I seen you walking 'round like a black panther." And yes, I did get my glass filled.

Why should people come and see your band? I'll be playing a '70s Hondo II Japanese electric guitar! Is there much else to do on a Wednesday night?

When and where for your next gig? 5 Oct, Gasoline Pony; 8 Oct, Grand Junction Hotel
