Allison Crowe (born November 16, 1981) is a singer-songwriter, guitarist and pianist from Nanaimo, British Columbia, Canada who now also lives in Corner Brook, Newfoundland, Canada.
“I love singing for people,” says Crowe. “It’s a way to connect and share with others. Communication is crucial. Just being able to do what I do, to write and sing and perform, makes me feel not only alive, but incredibly lucky. Knowing at any moment everything could change, I don’t take one second for granted.”
Today, at 27 years, Crowe’s reach is global. The audience for her music videos and song downloads numbers in the millions.
“Allison Crowe has a voice to fall in love with,” says UK music industry journal Record of the Day. “She is from Vancouver Island in Canada, descended from Scottish, Irish and Manx stock. She’s exactly the sort of artist who can make serious headway on her own label and that’s just what she’s doing.”
With Ani DiFranco as a model of integrity, and Creative Commons licensing changing the “game” for musicians of a new era, Crowe created her own label. Since 2003, Rubenesque Records Ltd has released six critically and commercially successful albums: Lisa’s Song, secrets, Tidings, Live at Wood Hall, This Little Bird and Little Light. Through recording and touring Allison Crowe has achieved broad popularity, featured by BBC Radio, MOJO magazine and a movie trailer for Hollywood blockbuster, The Watchmen.
“The first thing you notice about Allison Crowe is her voice. Rich and dark, it seems to come from a place most singers can only dream of accessing. Then there are the songs. Filled with raw passion and accompanied by Crowe’s eloquent piano playing,” writes Clodagh O’Connell (The Courier).
