DD Allen

Biography

"There's something exciting about DD Allen. Sort of a cross between Jake Bugg and Neil Young with a great deal of honesty in his lyrics." — James Blunt

Bournemouth-based singer-songwriter and guitarist DD Allen brings his timeless blend of breezy folk, rock, and alt-country music to the stage. Enjoy an immersive performance as DD moves between the self-penned songs that saw him open for James Blunt at The BIC and Huey Morgan at the O2, and a wide range of popular covers from your favourite artists, including Neil Young, U2, Bob Marley, The Eagles, Bruce Springsteen, Tom Petty and many more.
