With hundreds of public concerts and private events per year, she leads her own retro jazz band, Fleur Seule, with effortless fun and fashion to match whichever decade she chooses to recreate. Her uniquely sweet tone and unusually wide vocal range have allowed her to collaborate with Michael Feinstein, Ciara Renée, Catherine Russell, and Jeremy Jordan, and to open for Lionel Richie, Paris Hilton, and Luba Mason. Allyson has graced the stages of Carnegie Hall, Jazz at Lincoln Center, Pasadena Pops, Manhattan Symphonie, and has returned to Birdland Jazz Club numerous times, with her sold-out tributes to Burt Bacharach, Peggy Lee, and her Spanish-language concert, “Latin Love Songs.” Allyson is fluent in Spanish, German, and French, and can be heard singing in as many as 7 languages throughout her performances, bringing an unprecedented variety of classic repertoire to the stage.

She has received critical acclaim from Playbill, The New York Sun, The Syncopated Times, and Broadwayworld, who writes, “Briggs' vocal instrument is beautiful beyond compare.” Allyson has appeared on live television multiple times on Telemundo, Teleonce, Univision, and PIX 11 News, and has released 7 critically acclaimed studio albums with many of her original songs featured in film and TV (Peacock, Hallmark, Lifetime). Her latest album, “Promises, Prayers, and Raindrops: Allyson Briggs Sings Burt Bacharach” has been at the top of the Jazz Charts in 2024, with Talkin’ Broadway praising the recording’s “feeling of freshness and joy,” and Jazz Weekly calling the album “a fun and nostalgic collection.”
