John-Allison Weiss (formerly Allison Weiss) is an American guitar player and singer-songwriter from Brooklyn, NY.

Weiss first picked up a guitar at age 14 in an attempt to become a punk rock star and impress their high school crush, and though the teenage romance died after one short month, their passion for music lived on.

After moving to Athens, GA in 2005, Weiss spent the next five years in and out of various pseudo-relationships which fueled the fire for one infectious breakup song after another.
