"First Listen" on CBC Radio - Host Heather Barrett Chats with Allison Crowe

Allison Crowe and Band brought their new music live to audiences in Europe this Spring – performing sensational concerts in Germany, Slovenia, Italy, England and Belgium. Since then, Allison’s been go-go again - musically directing as well as singing and playing on-stage with TNL’s Gros Morne Theatre Festival.

Now, as the Corner Brook artist readies with bandmates to tour the new double-album in Canada for the first time – Allison Crowe catches breath long enough for an engaging chat with Heather Barrett, Host/Producer of Weekend AM, CBC Radio One’s weekend morning show across Newfoundland and Labrador.
