The Sunday Serenade with Ingrid Avison

Ingrid Avison didn't find songwriting until a pandemic, a heartbreak, a surgery, and a psychedelic desert experience cracked her open at the age of 34 — and now she can't stop. The Nederland, Colorado-based musician and grief therapist has spent the years since building one of the Front Range's most alluringly uncontainable catalogs, earning her spot as a two-time Finalist in the Planet Bluegrass songwriter contests in 2025 and 2026. Ingrid belongs on playlists alongside a refreshing blend of contemporary and nostalgic female icons including Jewel, Florence Welch, Chappell Roan and Olivia Dean. Avison enigmatically lives alone in a cabin in the woods, while bursting onto stage in sequins and her music reflects the same contradictions and complexity.
