Here is another one of my originals - Secrets: A song I wrote when I had a lot of stuff I wanted to talk about but didn’t know how, so I wrote this instead - and it’s definitely a longer song. These things aren’t unrelated. (Also FYI once I get set up with more gear one day I won’t have to sing the loud parts away haha but - for now - I’m loud and I apologize! ) (which is very Canadian of me) #singer #newfoundland #songwriter #piano #music #dachshund
Skeletons and Spirits – Allison Crowe and Band W2U2
Allison Crowe (piano vocals) and bandmates
Céline Sawchuk (cello, vocals), Sarah White
(mandolin, vocals), Dave Baird (bass) & Keelan
Purchase (harmonica) bring forth “Skeletons and
Spirits” – from Allison Crowe and Band’s fresh
release, “Welcome to Us 2”.
Following a delightful visit with Allison and
Linkers sharing fun with “Arthur” at home
–

– from a dasching duo we embrace the collective joy
and genius of a quintet.
Banding together on the lovely isle of
Newfoundland for sessions and shows – for a flock of
creators who live, literally, all over the map it’s
a rare chance to slow the world a bit. “We had time
to experiment, and think more about the larger
picture musically,” says bassist & birder Dave.
“It’s only the beginning. It’s just the first we’ve
had opportunity to work the music out without much
time restraint. It was fun, relaxed, and
productive.”
Melding into one sound and performance
experience the rawest of folk roots and the richest
of arena rock – that barely begins to describe the
originality and freshness of the quintet’s music
and personality.
Debuting at Corner Brook, NL’s Rotary Arts
Centre, RAC Theatre Co-ordinator Brad
Randell observes, “The performance was absolutely
magical.”
Rolling across the rock, captured fresh at the
LSPU (Longshoremen's Protective Union) Hall
in St. John's, NL, Canada – it’s music that’s
food for the soul and fun for all.
Fortune’s present audio-wise, and Allison’s SD
(memory) card is filled with tracks to be mined and
enjoyed. Sláinte!
This is Arthur - a song I wrote several years ago - as performed by myself and Linkers on squeaker. (This is silly but a special vid to me because he’s my best bud and also throwing the toy while playing music is my daily reality, lol) #music #piano #singersongwriter #singer #dachshund #dog
NB for more such fun, you can enjoy Allison & band, Linkers+ vids on
Alley's Vero, Vimeo, Twitter and other social sites – links to come!
Allison Crowe wrote “Lisa’s Song” in 2002 for Lisa and her family.
National and international focus can hopefully help people come forward to say who’s involved and what happened after the “Jag guy” Chris Adair took Lisa from the house-party where she’d been celebrating with friends – now 14 years ago.
Those who know the truth and fear reprisals, anyone wary of communicating within Nanaimo and environs can know there are options now to get the truth out – where it can matter. The Toronto Star’s reporter on the story, Verity Stevenson, the investigative team in Australia and other countries behind the true crime podcast ‘Casefile’, and the commissioners and staff, in Ottawa and beyond, conducting the just-launched Canadian federal government inquiry into murdered and missing indigenous women – all present new channels to confidentially share information. Others are ready to listen now as well when people reach out to tell more of Lisa's story.

A dream come true

Just off the Island Highway, between Ladysmith and Nanaimo, BC, Canada is the Cassidy Inn. The fabulous cast, crew, and team creating the movie "Man of Steel" dropped into the Cassidy to make magic - and Allison Crowe joined in the fun.
