Alison Prestwood


I am a studio bass player in Nashville, Tennessee, and many of my studio credits for the last 25 years or so are included in the allmusic.com link below.
The musicians' union sent me a list of songs I've played on over the years, and it surprised even me that there are well over 13,000 entries!
I am a four-time nominee for the Bass Player of the Year Award by the Academy of Country Music (ACM).


I have toured extensively with Rodney Crowell, Patty Loveless, Shawn Colvin, Olivia Newton-John, and the Dead Reckoners. In addition, I have played bass in concert with Joe Bonamassa, Vince Gill, Amy Grant, Trisha Yearwood, Wynona Judd, Jim Lauderdale, Anders Osborne, and many others.
I was pleased to be included in the house band of the CMA Awards Show in November 2019, the house band for the 2019 Country Music Hall of Fame Induction Ceremony, and the 2020 CMA Christmas Special.
