Logan Allison

Logan is the leader, head songwriter, general manager, and frontman of Earth to Sender. He plays bass and sings as Lonnis Tober III, aka Lonnie, on-stage. His entire life he has had a passion for all of the arts, visual and audible, and has developed skills across multiple mediums as a result.

Logan's first run-in with retro-futurism was Rush's Clockwork Angels tour, and the album they released of the same name. Logan had never experienced the depth and richness of a theme as much as those video screens and stage effects provided. (Seriously, this song in particular broke me... I mean, uh... him: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EsBNzf5JlZA) Like many who enjoy Steampunk, he had always loved the theme, he just didn't know what it was called. His introduction to Atompunk came from the popular video game series Fallout, and the sentimental value that game had to him helped solidify his appreciation for the genre. Finally, bands such as Steam Powered Giraffe, The Cog is Dead, and Professor Elemental inspired Logan to take his run-of-the-mill Indie-Rock band down a much different road: an Atompunk-themed performance group.

A multi-instrumentalist, Logan began the path of a musician by following in his drumming father's footsteps. He received several lessons over his early years and could hold a beat by age 6. As years progressed, he took lessons on guitar from various teachers, taught himself how to play keyboard, and finally picked up the bass once he had reached high school. His most recent instrumental endeavor is teaching himself trumpet, and he's finding it quite the blasted challenge.

Vocally, Logan began in his church's children's choir. Once in high school, Logan joined his school's top choir and performed with them his junior and senior years. He is continuing with vocal ensembles as he progresses through college.

Logan's endeavors in songwriting began in middle school, writing positive lyrics with upbeat tunes inspired by bands like Reliant K, Blink 182, Weezer, and All American Rejects. Once in highschool, Logan's taste in music took a more refined direction as he discovered indie-rock. At this point he began writing about his life and what mattered to him, culminating most recently in Earth to Sender's 2015 release, "Velcro Mask." He enjoys the change of pace from writing deep, emotionally-saturated songs to fun, geeky, Atompunk-themed ones, though he will still be employing the former when appropriate.

Logan also has a love for cinematography, screenwriting, and video editing. Unless done by a hired professional, Logan will be directing any music videos the band does in the near future.

Logan's plans for the future are to earn his degree in music from Lindenwood University and pursue two simultaneous musical careers: one as a worship leader at a local church, and another managing and playing in Earth to Sender as a music performance company.
