New York, NY (Top40 Charts/ Allison Crowe Official Website) It's coming on "Tidings" - and that means the voice of
Allison Crowe will soon ring out traditional favourites, Christmas carols such as "It Came Upon a Midnight Clear", "In the Bleak Midwinter", and "The First Noel", alongside the modern canon of Joni Mitchell, Patty Griffin, Lennon & McCartney and original song selections including the elegiac "Arthur", and the epic, foot-stomping, "
Disease".
Allison's just off the road, wrapping up her second engagement of this year with Canada's amazing Royal Winnipeg Ballet - performing songs of Leonard Cohen. With the love experienced on the dance stage, as well as recent European concert dates, still touching souls - it's time to rally a repertoire that decks us all in comfort and joy whatever life's circumstances.
"Allison Crowe is a stunningly talented performer. Her voice celebrates the music with a bluesy rock-gospel intensity; her controlled vibrato, silken rasp, and powerful projection rivet your attention. This is no casual background music... be prepared to be amazed," says ChristmasReviews.com
Drawing themes of faith, hope, sorrow, joy, redemption, transcendence and more from an abundant well of music, this year, there's plenty of ways to rejoice with
Allison as she melds the sacred and secular in "songs of the season" and spirit.
"Tidings Concert", an whole show captured truly by Engineer and Mixer Brad Graham, and FOH Engineer Ed Johnson, and mixed at Turtle Recording in White Rock, BC, Canada is released on November 25 (debuting on https://music.allisoncrowe.com with some days grace for iTunes and other folks observing US Thanksgiving this weekend). This set, the eighth full-length collection from Crowe, features 19 in-concert performances, and, for the first time, audio from the "
Hallelujah" video which now has a worldwide audience of more than 10 million people (more than eight million of those viewing on YouTube alone).
