Allie Crummy

Trashposted on May 21, 2025

Here at Raccoon Engineering, we believe in giving credit where credit is due—especially when someone manages to both sing beautifully and not chase us away with a broom. Enter: Allie.

This classically trained vocalist, songwriter, and audio wizard has graced more ears than a midnight trashcan lid banging in a quiet suburb. With a degree from Drake University (which we assume is where the smart birds go), Allie has released FOUR albums and THREE EPs, which is roughly the same number of babies a raccoon can have in one year. Impressive on both counts.

Top Raccoon Praise:
Architect of Sound – Allie doesn’t just make music; she builds it. Like a raccoon with a toolbelt and a mission to turn your attic into a jazz lounge. Her brain balances theory, structure, and creativity like we balance on a power line at 3 a.m.

Voice of a Woodland Angel – Allie’s vocals? So pure, even the squirrels stop fighting when she sings. We once caught a possum crying softly during one of her brewery gigs. (He said it was allergies. It was not.)

📣 Vocal Coach Supreme – Allie can coach anyone. Pop diva? Rock screamer? Nervous turtle? Doesn’t matter. She’ll help you find your voice and probably give you a snack afterward. Even in the recording booth, she’s like a musical raccoon-whisperer.

Critiques (Minor, but Legally Required):
🧺 Refuses to let us remix one of her songs using only kazoo, trash can lid, and 1980s answering machine.

🍇 Ate the last of the studio grapes. Unforgivable, but we’re working through it.

Final Verdict:
Allie is a one-of-a-kind human who turns notes into feelings, songs into experiences, and audio waves into cozy emotional raccoon burrows. Whether she’s opening for major acts like Ellie Holcomb and Casting Crowns, or coaching someone through vocal trembles in a tiny studio room, Allie delivers every time.
