"the antithesis of everything that's out there": Allison rocks on

She's earned standing ovations, literally, coast-to-coast for
peerless performances across her home and native land. Now, singer-
songwriter Allison Crowe is readying for her first concerts in
Europe ~ on soil in which is bedded her ancestral roots.

On her just-completed, third, national headlining tour of Canada,
Crowe delighted audiences in the provinces of British Columbia, Nova
Scotia, New Brunswick, Ontario, Quebec, and Newfoundland. This
"Sea
of a Million Faces" tour swing was capped with a visit to Cape
Spear, the eastern-most point on the North American continent. And
Crowe became an honorary Newfoundlander at a "Screech-in"
ceremony
presided over by the honourable Angus McAlpine of Corner Brook,
Newfoundland.

Next month, Crowe, one of the truly great and original voices of
this or any generation, makes her European debut at the historic
Bewley's Café Theatre, Dublin and at Bush Hall, London. (One
of the
UK's top concert venues, Bush Hall as well as hosting REM,
Coldplay,
and others, is where Alanis Morissette returned to live performing
in '04).

Last year, the London-based music journal Record of the Day,
declared: "Allison Crowe has a voice to fall in love with."
And,
last month, the UK's premiere roots and country magazine,
Maverick,
labeled her "a force to be reckoned with". Along with the
nods to
her own songs, fan clubs of The Beatles and Rolling Stones, along
with caretakers of the legacies of Joni Mitchell and Leonard Cohen
have all recognized Crowe's remarkable interpretive powers.
Crowe's "Tidings" CD has been cited by BBC Radio listeners as
among
their picks for the "best cover album of all time".

Along with live performances, there is a "Tidings" video
album in
the works. "The antithesis of everything that's out
there" (in music
videos) is how this musical project is described by
director/producer Alex Postowoi (lensman behind videos of Joan
Armatrading, Jann Arden, Bif Naked+). As with Allison Crowe's
audio
releases, there is no trickery or fakery involved. Simply, it's
pure
and honest in capturing a dozen songs performed by Crowe live at
Turtle Recording, the White Rock, B.C. studio of engineer/producer
Larry Anschell (k-os, Pearl Jam, Sarah McLachlan).

By the time Allison Crowe returns to North America for a series of
Tidings concerts in eastern Canada, the U.S. and B.C., this DVD will
be released as a treat for fan club members.

You'll find free downloads of the music from Allison's
commercially
released CDs @ http://www.allisoncrowe.com/music.html and there are
rarities and bootlegs (including movie files) @

Best wishes of the season, to all!
