A true child of the sixties, 17-year-old guitarist Alley has no problem speaking up and speaking out. She picked up a guitar at the sweet 'n' tender age of 9, and after a few years of lessons, has been teaching herself. Raised in the high desert, she has been fed a steady diet of classic rock since Day One. After her first taste of performing in her church's youth band, she has been hooked ever since. Alley's influences range widely across genres, including classic rock (George Harrison, Brian Jones, Brian May, Jack White, Pete Townsend, Joe Walsh, Lita Ford and Jimmy Page), Christian rock  (Skillet, Switchfoot, Relient K) and punk (Dead Kennedys, Avengers, Blondie [yes, Blondie is punk.]). Her latest favorite is Ryan Wallengren of Billy Boy on Poison. Alley home-schools to accommodate her busy lifestyle. Her song compositions draw from literary influences, happy topics and minor keys.
