Renowned Session Bass Player

Alison Prestwood – Honored by the Country Music Hall of Fame in 2025 as a member of the elite "Nashville Cats" group of all-time influential session players. She is a 4-time nominee for ACM Bass Player of the Year (Academy of Country Music Awards) - $250 per song. She is experienced in any style you could possibly throw her way.

Alison Prestwood is different. It’s not because she’s a female bass player. It’s because you’re not going to find a bass player for your songs who has more credits, experience, and respect as a studio musician. As of six years ago, Alison was told by the Nashville musicians union that she had already played on 13,500 recordings, and that number reflects only the songs listed with the union. George Benson, Blake Shelton, Trace Adkins, Olivia Newton-John, NeedtoBreathe…..See credits: https://www.allmusic.com/artist/alison-prestwood-mn0000011420#credits

In 2025 Alison was named a “Nashville Cat” by the Country Music Hall of Fame—a distinction reserved for musicians who have played important roles in country music history.

Alison is versatile in all styles and plays with the punch and creativity that will bring your song to a new level. If you need finger-style funk, unrelenting rock, or smooth lyrical lines on a ballad—no problem. If your song would sound best using a pick, Alison will nail that, too. She studied pick technique in personal lessons from Carol Kaye!

Alison has been touring with Peter Frampton since 2023. In the past she toured with Shawn Colvin, Patty Loveless, Rodney Crowell, and Olivia Newton-John.
