You will find that deep from the heart of each member of this band will resonant the deep feelings of Classic and Southern Rock genre, with a sprinkle of Country music to sweeten the air. From the crisp rhythm tones of the Fender Stratocaster to the smooth whimpers and whines of the Gibson Explorer both endorsed by the gentle timbre of the bass guitar amidst the accents and melodic tones of percussion. All this combined gives the listener what we know as “Reverse Polarity” the Allison Family Band, configured of four musicians, guitarist/vocalist JD Allison, guitarist/vocalist Eli Allison, bassist/vocalist Jed Allison and drummer, percussionist/vocalist Ken Allison. Hard work and a desire to appease the listener have taken this band to a spot to be admired and enjoyed by the audience. “Our goal is to energize the audience so they feel they are part of our performance”, “come join us at the stage, you will be glad you did” says Drummer Ken Allison
