Musical Tidings on tap: Allison Crowe @ ACC

Capping a sensational year - concert tours in Europe and Canada for her 20th international record release - being home this week and part of “A Beary Merry Christmas” festivities at the Arts and Culture Centre heralds a joyous holiday season for Allison Crowe. Before stockings are hung by the chimney with care the Corner Brook musician rejoins her mates at Theatre Newfoundland and Labrador to load up the sleigh with still more delights.

In 2016 Crowe helmed her fifth Summer as Musical Director of TNL’s much-loved “Newfoundland Vinyl” – performing, too, on-stage in “Vinyl” and with the ensemble of “Neddy Norris Night”, a traditional music hit at the Gros Morne Theatre Festival in Cow Head. Crowe’s now MD for “Ed & Ed’s Newfoundland Christmas Concert” which delivers Yuletide spirit to the ACC CB from December 1st – 4th. Hosted by three wise-cracking charmers, Ed, Ed & Edna, TNL’s old-tyme revue bundles fashion, fortunes-told, and an original Mummer’s Play into family-friendly fun - skits, songs, carols, even a sing-along: http://www.theatrenewfoundland.com/shows/ed-eds-newfoundland-christmas-concert

Peals of merriment will be echoing from “Ed and Ed’s” encampment, (of the weekend prior), when Allison Crowe enlivens the ACC stage on Saturday, December 10th (8pm start) for her annual “Tidings” concert. Invigorating songs of Newfoundland and from o’er the sea flow freely, tapped alongside barrels of the singer-songwriter’s own compositions and cherished carols.

It’s a thrilling blend of rock, jazz, folk, Celtic and soul that Allison Crowe pours out in song. Crowe (vocals, piano, guitar, fiddle & bodhran) is sure to be joined by surprise musical guests for a singular night of celebration sharing timeless carols, vital originals and fresh takes on trad tunes spanning centuries as well as modern classics. “Be prepared to be amazed.”

Secrets... of stage and screen

The world of Allison Crowe is a curious one to depict right now.

Allison's regular forums for expression, touring and recording, are currently joined by at least four new productions... about which nothing can be said!

It's true that over the next 12 - 18 months, these projects, regional, national and international in scope, will enable us to enjoy Allison on stage and screen, as part of music, theatre, dance and more.

Not entirely secret is Allison's role as one of the Music Directors of Theatre Newfoundland and Labrador's staging of "Sexy and Dangerous" - Saturday, February 11 at the Arts and Culture Centre, Corner Brook, NL. TNL's cabaret is set in the speakeasies of '30s era Chicago. As well as helping create the production numbers, Allison Crowe will perform some tunes (and should you be in Canada's Atlantic region and able to be part of the revelry - visit TNL's homesite for more info).

As for the rest of the great fun, due to burst like supernovas over the 2012+ calendar - it can best be described by borrowing a song-title - these are "Secrets (That Aren't My Own)" - heard here, below, in performance from "Live at Wood Hall":
