"Soulful. Alive. Joyous. Grievous. Real, true, music is what I want to make," says Allison Crowe.

In late 2003 Allison launched her own label, Rubenesque Records Ltd., with the release of Lisa's Song + 6 Songs ~ a collection of songs recorded live-off-the-floor over the preceding couple of years. Secrets, the singer-songwriter's debut full-length album was named one of the "Top CDs of 2004" by Collected Sounds.

Tidings, a collection of songs for the season of joy and peace was Rubenesque's next, Winter, release. This is one of the best-reviewed holiday albums released in 2004/5+, and has received acclaim world-wide from critics who call Tidings "sublime", "marvelously thoughtful", "truly transcendent", "a triumph", and "the Yuletide find of the year."

In mid-2005, Allison released a double-album, Live at Wood Hall, bringing further popular and critical success. The year wrapped with a special, fan-club-only, DVD of Tidings performances. During 2005/6, Allison toured Canada from sea-to-sea, including the "Rock'n'Rail Revue" by train, visited U.S. cities for select shows, and crossed the mighty Atlantic twice for UK and continental European concert dates.

This Little Bird, ~ a 12-song collection - was recorded from Newfoundland to Vancouver Island, Canada and released in 2006. Last year, 2008, saw the release of Little Light, an album of piano and guitar music from Allison Crowe which is another popular CD/album worldwide. Spiral, a new album in the works, is anticipated to be released before the end of 2009.
