NEW YORK (www.allisoncrowe.com) - "I sing just to know that I'm alive." Those words sum up
Allison Crowe.
Today, the Canadian singer-songwriter hits the oad on the first, month-long, leg of her Secrets Tour, in support of her just released album of the same name. It's a journey that begins with a special enefit show in Hartland, New Brunswick, the smallest incorporated town n Canada, and closes October 16 in New York City, one of the bigger burgs in world, for another good cause.
Between these dates, Allison Crowe will perform in a dozen Canadian and American cities from Charlottetown to Sudbury. It's a hand-made tour, crafted with love and attention to Allison's performances being in venues where music is passionately appreciated, and the communication between artist and audience is genuine.
Special thanks to Ember Swift and the good folks who are building the fewllignitesound.com database ~ an invaluable tour resource for those who believe people do have the power.
Seeing as this also marks the birthday of Canada's pre-eminent poet of song, Leonard Cohen, let's launch this ship with a tune:
