Born on an island, in the harbor city of Nanaimo, B.C., today Crowe's reach is global. From a home computer on the Gulf Islands to a state ceremony in Tasmania - the audience for her songs and music videos numbers more millions each year.Courted by the establishment, Crowe, taking a cue from Ani DiFranco and Loreena McKennitt, chose instead to form her own label. Since 2001, Rubenesque Records Ltd. has released a series of critically and commercially successful recordings: Lisa's Song+ 6 Songs (2001-3); Secrets (2004); Tidings (2004); Live at Wood Hall (2005); This Little Bird (2006); Little Light (2008); Spiral (2010); Arthur / Up to the Mountain (2011); Tidings Concert (2012); Newfoundland Vinyl (2013); Heavy Graces (2013); Songbook (2013/14); Sylvan Hour (2015); Newfoundland Vinyl 3 (2015); Souling (Bonus Tracks Edition) (2015); and Introducing / Heirs + Grievances (2016).Broadcast highlights include a pair of one-hour television specials: "Allison Crowe: Inside Pandora's Box" and "Tidings" (airing nationally across Canada from 2002 - 2008). Allison Crowe appears in "Man of Steel" (2013) - an epic science fiction movie adventure featuring Superman. In this blockbuster film, Crowe cameos as a singer/musician in Cassidy's Bar where Clark Kent is working incognito. She performs "Ring of Fire", a song penned by June Carter and Merle Kilgore and made legendary by 'The Man in Black'. "I'm a big Johnny Cash fan. And I'm a big Allison Crowe fan. So the combination to me seemed like an awesome opportunity if we could make it happen," explains "Man of Steel" Director Zack Snyder.Allison Crowe has performed as concert headliner on hundreds of occasions, in a dozen countries - from solo gigs in jazz caverns and grand churches, to the concert festival stage alongside the Queen's Master of Music, Sir Peter Maxwell Davies, and Britain's Poet Laureate, Carol Ann Duffy. In 2012, Allison Crowe performed live on-stage with Canada's Royal Winnipeg Ballet for the World Premiere of "The Doorway - Scenes from Leonard Cohen" - created and choreographed by Jorden Morris with artistic direction from the RWB's André Lewis.Vocalist, pianist, guitarist, songwriter, engineer, producer and arranger, Allison Crowe, born on an island in the Pacific now lives on another - on Canada's Atlantic coast, in Corner Brook, Newfoundland. From her home-base she records and tours steadily, giving legendary performances that stir together original songs with much-loved interpretations in an organic blend of rock, jazz, Celtic, Broadway, Canadiana, folk, roots, and soul.
