Allison (Rizk) Hare is a dame with a bionic ear for discovering emerging artists, has a knack for playing the triangle, and a penchant for live shows.

Allison has been named one of Twitter’s Top 75 Badass Women, voted one of Atlanta’s Top Tweeps: February 2012 by NBC affliate, 11Alive, her blog RadioPotato was voted CBS Local Atlanta’s Most Popular Entertainment Blogger, is the official host of Park Tavern’s AUnfiltered Live live music series (formerly Americana in the Park), nominated for a Chozen Award in 2010, has been a guest judge for the Texaco Country Showdown at Eddie’s Attic.  She has interviewed artists such as Amos Lee, The Civil Wars, Arrested Development, and is in hot pursuit to interview the band Rush.  Yes, the band Rush.  Admitted radio junkie living in Atlanta, GA.

Since I blow all my extra ca$h into going to a ton of shows, Radiopotato.com was originally designed as a personal creative outlet. What it’s turned into is a way to actually do some good with it – like promote the artists I truly believe in and give a larger voice for the music to be heard.  The real truth is that I lack any musical skill or talent but have always felt driven to be a vital part of the community.  Some people call me musically obsessed.  I call it pleasingly possessed.  You can subscribe to RadioPotato via RSS Feed, become a Facebook Fan and follow on Twitter for more frequent music updates. Also, check out the other cool music site that I contributed my writing skillz to: The Silver Tongue. Thanks for reading!   -Allison
