Allison Speer Invites Fans to be Part of Her New Album

Singer and songwriter Allison Speer is preparing to release her new album, the follow-up to her 2014 album "Writer."  Now, she's inviting fans and friends to help her with her new recording via Kickstarter.  

"My calling is making music for the Body of Christ. I choose to sing songs that have the saving message of Jesus, and as long as I have breath I will lift high the name of the Lord. My last CD, "Writer," was released in early 2014, so it's time to make some new music! Recording is a must for a ministry, but it is expensive. We have started a Kickstarter campaign to raise the funds. You can click here to see the project, and how we have incorporated several levels of rewards to say thank you for your generosity. The campaign runs until Monday, October 26, 2015, and if our goal of $10,000 is not met, we will not receive any money from the pledges.

"I want to make a happy, fun record, full of songs that are uplifting and that will make you smile and openly praise the Lord Jesus. Please consider helping with this project. Thank you in advance from the bottom of my heart." 

Allison Speer was raised in the Bluegrass fields of Kentucky, and even a land as vast as that was not big enough to contain her talent. Her early childhood was spent enjoying spring vegetable gardens and sun drying autumn apples; tending cattle and crops, and developing a deep respect for God's creation gave her a down-home sense of self.

A concert by The Imperials was Allison's earliest introduction to Christian music. She watched as Russ Taff performed the songs, "Praise the Lord" and "New Creation," and was instantly passionate about the gospel word set to song. The passion she felt that night has taken her to the stage, performing alongside Russ Taff, and as a regular on the Gaither Homecoming videos and tours. "It's so surreal to perform next to Russ; he and The Imperials are the reason I fell in love with Christian music in my teens. That means that Russ is a considerable number of years older than me, a fact I continually remind him of." Allison communicates the Gospel in all she does, in mega-churches such as First Baptist Atlanta (Dr. Charles Stanley), The Brooklyn Tabernacle, First Baptist Orlando (Rev. Jim Henry), as well as small rural churches.

She has also been a featured artist for many Bible study cruises with Charles Stanley and D. James Kennedy. She has also performed with evangelists Luis Palau, Bailey Smith, David Ring, and Johnny Hunt (First Baptist Church of Woodstock, GA). Her appearances on the Gaither Homecoming videos, The 700 Club, and The Trinity Broadcasting Network have left the nation wanting more of this incredible singer.
