Allison Crowe and Band: Introducing / Heirs+Grievances Gibsons
"No matter where Allison Crowe is in this world, that voice, that conviction, it crosses all borders. She's one of those rare artists that fits into any culture, any community because she is who she is - an incredible talent," observes Jeff Pitcher, Artistic Director of Theatre Newfoundland and Labrador.
And so it is that Nanaimo-born Crowe, home in Corner Brook, NL, on Canadas Atlantic coast for oer a decade, finds her thrilling hybrid of Canadiana, Celtic, jazz, roots, folk, soul and rock loved deeply from the Hollywood Hills and Scottish Highlands to countries of Maritime and Mainland Southeast Asia and beyond. Since this Spring her unique repertoire, more than 159 original song recordings, plays in markets and street galleries throughout the republic of Portugal, land of Fado music. In recent years Crowes toured with Canadas Royal Winnipeg Ballet, crowned a festival stage with the Master of the Queens Music, and serenaded Clark Kent undercover in a Superman blockbuster.
Passionate universality is also an hallmark of her stellar band: Allison Crowe on lead vocals, piano, guitar, fiddle & bodhran; Lin, cellist and vocalist, hailing from Germanys Black Forest; Sarah White, mandolinist, guitarist and singer nurtured by Newfoundland & Nova Scotia; alongside Dave Baird, bassist, hatched on Vancouver Island.
The quartet seamlessly bridges Crowes vital originals with fresh takes on traditional tunes spanning centuries as well as modern classics by Leonard Cohen, Annie Lennox, Gary ODriscoll. The bands debut double-album, Introducing / Heirs+Grievances, the 20th release from Rubenesque Records, is out now. Devon, UK-based music/arts writer Mike Ferguson, (posting in Some Diurnal Aural Awe), anticipates youll be royally entertained by a show full of the joy and fun that comes across on this cd's live offering.
"Heirs + Grievances is a gorgeous, full circle showcase of Allisons growth as a singer-songwriter and multi-instrumentalist. Her extraordinary voice is unrestrained and beautifully accompanied by her bandmates, notes West Virginia-founded culture blog Muruch.
