Ingrid Avison is a Colorado-based singer-songwriter who believes music is a form of spell-casting and writes songs that leave a lasting impression. Ingrid’s debut record is a sophisticated mélange of Americana and at times otherworldly cinematic soundscapes. She tells highly personal stories of desert sojourns, lost love, death and even time travel while interweaving biting social commentary into the fabric of her songwriting..

Ingrid is no stranger to heartache and loss. In a recent interview she shares, “Having my dad suddenly die when I was a kid has shaped so much of who I am and it’s not possible for me to leave it out of my songwriting. It’s like saying you’re gonna build a car without an engine. You’re gonna get nowhere fast…so whether it’s a break up song or a dead dad song, grief is going to show up. But on the flip side, the only way that I survived that experience as a kid was to eventually laugh at the absurdity of life and reclaim my joy as a griever and as a woman finding her place in the world. Those elements are like the wheels of my car.”
