Allan Combs II
Allan Combs II is a singer-songwriter hailing from Bloomsburg, Pennsylvania. Allan has been performing for audiences for most of his life, most notably working as a full-time solo musician in the Mid-Atlantic region for the past decade. Combs’ self-taught guitar techniques provide a foundation for unique original songs and one-of-a-kind arrangements of popular tunes. Combs’ sound can be self-described as “ a blend of rock 'n' roll, soul, funk, jazz, and country into undeniably catchy, upbeat music”. This year, Allan was nominated for “Folk Artist of the Year” by the 2025 Central Pennsylvania Music Awards; his group Tanjo & Crow was also nominated for “Duo/Trio of the Year”. Combs was a second-year resident at Avaloch Farm Music Institute in 2025, where his group Tanjo & Crow was hosted for an EP release of songs recorded on site the previous year. In early September 2024, Combs released his first EP, “Solo Crow: Volume I”, which features all acoustic renditions of his newest songs. September 2025 marked the ambitious debut of Allan’s newest project, a full band playing his original works named AC II. AC II plans to release their first single in January 2026.
