She and her band will blow you away. High energy and you won’t believe the addition of bagpipes to a country concert. Nashville-based country singer-songwriter Alli Walker, originally from Prince Edward Island, Canada, is quickly becoming one of the genre’s most exciting new voices. With nearly one million followers across social media and two CCMA Award nominations this year, Walker has carved out a lane that is unmistakably her own. Her sound blends the storytelling heart of traditional country with the energy of pop, rock, and the unique flair of her East Coast roots— often punctuated by her signature use of bagpipes, which has become one of her most recognizable calling cards.
