Alli Villines

Hi! I’m Alli, and I make music.

I make it in lots of ways. I make music with students. I make music for and with babies and children in the hospital. I make music with my body. I make music with an ukulele. I make music on the computer. I make music alone. I make music with others. I meow and scat melodies. I look upward and inward to try to catch the music of the spheres. My stories are music. My puppetry is music. My acting is music. My teaching is music. I would like to connect with you thru music. 

Here are the ways that I make music…

Here’s what people are saying…

Alli is a wickedly talented and deeply empathetic artist. To collaborate with her is to develop a genuine friendship with a creative powerhouse who will always have your back. Her prowess as a vocalist and songwriter is surpassed only by her wonderful heart. – Megan Weaver, Writer, Director, Storyteller

Alli is a joy to work with. She’s both intuitive and responsive; her background in music and theater gives her creative work depth and sensitivity. – Lydia Hance, Frame Dance

Songs are just lyrics on a page and chords to follow unless there is a talent to set them alight and here is where Villines really shines, for she’s not simply the star of the show, she’s the musical director and arranger as well…she makes the music her own. – Jessica Goldman, Houston Press review of We’re Gonna Die

Alli is a wonderfully creative artist and gifted songwriter that inspires me in my own artistic pursuits…who I now consider a good friend and vital partner on my musical journey in life. – Steven Higginbotham, The Wheel Workers
