we are now in Dublin, it's Allison's birthday (November 16) - and
all are asleep but I...

as I finally have an internet connection! below is a news release I
intended to post here days ago...

Effortless ~ Allison Crowe flies to Europe and back

"If you are disgustingly sincere and terribly diligent, there are
ways
for any serious artist to operate outside the corporate structure,"
says
Ani DiFranco, "the little folksinger who could".

Combine that philosophy with a giant talent, and a singular gift of
voice and song, and you have Canada's Allison Crowe.

Since starting her own record label just over two years ago, Crowe
has
released four albums to widespread critical and popular acclaim,
toured
over 40,000 km., and created some of the most naturally beautiful
music
of today.

(You can preview a pair of new songs, Effortless + Skeletons and
Spirits, to be recorded for release in '06: @

Noted as a thrilling live act, this month, Allison Crowe performs
