About Allora
Bio
Allora Leonard is a seventeen year old singer/songwriter born and raised on a ranch in south Texas. Her deep soulful vocals are a unique blend of pure country and blues. Combining her love of legendary Texas swing and classic country into a fresh, current sound has created a style that resonates with many generations. A true country girl, when Allora is not singing you can find her competing in reined cowhorse and ranch horse versatility events. In 2021 she was named National and Reserve World Champion. 2022 has started off with her winning the Ft. Worth Stockshow Championship. In the fall, her love for the outdoors and wildlife lead her to early morning hunts with her dad in Texas and Colorado.
Old Soul Girl, Allora's first EP, was cut in Nashville at the famed Dark Horse Studio. She was blessed to colaborate with Grammy award winning producer, Casey Wasner, and Showdog - Universal Music recording artist, JT Hodges, for this project. Allora wrote and cowrote 5 of the 6 songs on the EP. Her wide range of musical influence is showcased with songs ranging from upbeat 90's style country to soulful blues ballads.
As a songwriter, Allora has been inspired in many ways by a family member that had great success in writing country music. Royce Porter wrote many hits for such artists as George Strait, Keith Whitley, Tanya Tucker, Reba McEntire and Kenny Chesney. Allora appreciates his storytelling style and finds that she tends to follow that same pattern. She loves paying tribute to him by covering some of his tunes, such as Ocean Front Property, in her live performances.
With over 150 performances completed in 2021 her schedule is quickly filling in 2022. Allora is gracing stages from Texas to Colorado. Texas has inspired her creative energy resulting in lots of new material for the next project which was completed in Nov 2021. All of the great energy surrounding her is setting things up for an exciting future as we look for her next release in early 2022.
“Seldom have I seen and heard a young artist with so much potential. She sings, she writes, she plays. I look forward to continuing to watch her develop and grow musically. Allora will be an artist to contend with.”
— Gary Morris - Legendary Country Recording Artist, Broadway Star
“First time I saw her sing, there was fearlessness, overwhelming presence and authenticity. First time I heard her sing, there was conviction, passion and fascinating uniqueness in her voice. First time I found out she was only 15, I knew she was an Old Soul Girl. Allora’s character, drive and talent is undeniable, there’s a bright future down that two lane road ahead.”
