Allison de Groot has become a big voice on the North American traditional music scene, exploring the role and dimensions of clawhammer banjo.

Collaboration is at the centre of Allison's music, and her duo with fiddler Tatiana Hargreaves has been described by Bandcamp Daily as “one living, breathing organism” while No Depression writes that they “transform the listener to a different plane.” Allison's collaborations with Hargreaves, percussive dancer Nic Gareiss, and grammy artist Bruce Molsky provide spaces for deep musical connection and exploration.  She has performed at events such as Newport Folk Festival, Celtic Connections, Transatlantic Sessions, Rockygrass, Hardly Strictly and the Winnipeg Folk Festival.

Nominated for 'Instrumentalist of the Year' by the Americana Music Association, her albums with Tatiana Hargreaves have also been nominated for a Juno Award, 'Liner Notes of the Year' at the International Bluegrass Music Association and won 'Traditional Album of the Year' and 'Instrumental Group of the Year' from the Canadian Folk Music Awards.
