As the youngest member of the Esperanza fold, the piano stylings and vocal poise of Allie Peden reflect the talents of a young artist creating the craft of a writer with twice her life experience. The nine tracks of melodious, piano-driven rock that compose her debut long-player highlight the skills she slowly built after beginning writing at the tender age of 15.
Her debut With This Love was recorded at Sputnik Studios in Nashville, TN with the assistance of producer Mike Odmark, and features the contributions of Steven Bevilaqua on electric guitar, Patrick Addison on bass, Aaron Saunders on cello, Mike Odmark on guitar and fellow Esperanzan Jesse Coppenbarger (Colour Revolt, El Obo) providing background vocals on "Coretta". What began as Allie and a piano several years prior matured into a full-fledged sound colored with innovative horn parts, jazzy guitar tracks and masterful piano arrangements.
