Port Ludlow Performing Arts Launches the 2026 Concert Season – Special Performance by Andrew Allen

Andrew Allen Launches PLPA's 2026 Concert Season

by Jason Wright, Guest Writer

On Sunday, January 25, at 2 p.m. at the Bay Club, you will have the uplifting experience of enjoying the warm resonance of acoustic pop-rock and award-winning Canadian singer-songwriter, Andrew Allen. Known for his magnetic presence, genre-crossing songwriting, and internationally recognized hits, Allen’s upcoming performance promises not only an afternoon of exceptional music, but also an immersive experience blending storytelling and artistry with a heartfelt connection.

As a multi-platinum singer-songwriter, Allen has built a career with a wide-ranging catalog of music that extends beyond the traditional boundaries of a recording artist. His ability to craft melodies that linger — simple yet emotionally resonant — has reached millions of households worldwide, and been featured in films Abduction and A Dog’s Way Home, TV series The Bachelor and Bringing Up Bates, and commercials for Folger’s coffee.

While many artists reach their audiences through streaming platforms or studio production, Allen is most at home on a stage — guitar in hand, loop pedals underfoot, and a room full of folks. His live performances are often described as uplifting, energetic, and profoundly personal. Each show blends his acoustic, pop-rock roots with dynamic looping techniques that enable him to create rich, layered soundscapes in real time.

What truly sets Allen apart as a performer is his ability to engage audiences into narratives behind his songs. With charismatic storytelling, disarming humor, and a natural sense of spontaneity, he creates a shared moment between artist and the audience so that the music becomes a living, evolving experience. Whether he’s performing in an intimate venue or a festival amphitheater, he connects with his audience and leaves them inspired.

Those familiar with Allen’s hits can expect fresh, live interpretations, and newcomers will quickly understand why his career has resonated with so many people around the world. With a set list likely to span heartfelt ballads, vibrant up-tempo tracks, and musical stories, the concert will be an unforgettable kickoff to Port Ludlow Performing Arts’ 2026 concert season.
