Enjoying this glorious day, dialing in to ‘The
Big Groove Radio Show’ signal from British
Columbia’s Sunshine Coast – Host Brad Mennie’s
all-Canadian playlist for July 1st cues up: “From
Nanaimo, BC native, now based all the way on the
other side of the country - the other side in
Corner Brook, Newfoundland - Allison Crowe. Yes!
Great to have her back in the mix with a first
listen from her new album ‘Heirs + Grievances’.
With just some gorgeous sounds and vocals
here exploring in all different directions. But
because it’s Canada Day I thought the roots of
Foggy Shores of Home just seemed to fit
perfectly. All those other sounds will be
definitely explored in future editions of the show.
With Allison and Band now home in Canada following
a sensational concert tour of Europe, the sounds
Mennie’s sharing today are being added to music
libraries of radio stations across this vast land –
including: CFRC (Kingston, ON), CHRW
(London, ON), CHMR (St. John’s, NL),
CHLY (Nanaimo, BC) and our nation’s public
broadcaster, the CBC. (There’s plenty more
word to come from H+G’s new music cresting the
airwaves.)
The double-album is now released in Canada – and
will soon be in stores on the mainland. Right now,
“Introducing / Heirs + Grievances” is
available to islanders - on the Pacific coast @:
Fascinating Rhythm (51 Commercial 250-716-9997), in
Nanaimo; Lyle’s Place (770 Yates 250-382-8422) in
Victoria; &
SaltspringSound CA
(131 McPhillips 250-537-00650), SSI, British
Columbia. On Canada's Atlantic shore, the band’s
debut is found @: MALA (74 Broadway 709-634-4004)
in Corner Brook, Newfoundland and Labrador.
