Crowe is currently based in Newfoundland, Canada. From Canada’s coasts she’s taken the road less traveled to harmonizing life as musician (voice, piano, guitar, fiddle, bodhran), composer, arranger, audio engineer and producer.

Ani DiFranco and Loreena McKennitt inspired the strong-willed Scorpio to create Rubenesque Records, her own label. Since 2001, via 26 albums, singles, EPs and compilations, Crowe’s oeuvre nears 200 unique, self-produced tracks.

A visceral performer and singular songwriter, Crowe’s also acclaimed internationally as a supreme interpreter, performing vital takes on pop standards including Leonard Cohen’s “Hallelujah,” Joni Mitchell’s “River,” and The Beatles’ “In My Life.”

Crowe has toured with Canada’s Royal Winnipeg Ballet performing the songs of Leonard Cohen to nightly standing ovations. And, as independent and underground as she is in her ways, the musician has fans in Hollywood. Director Zack Snyder flew Crowe cross-continent to cameo in the film “Man of Steel” (covering “Ring of Fire” on-screen in 2013’s Superman blockbuster).

“I’m a big Johnny Cash fan. And I’m a big Allison Crowe fan,” Snyder said. “So the combination to me seemed like an awesome opportunity if we could make it happen.”

Back home, Crowe is musical director of “Newfoundland Vinyl,” a rollicking hit at the Gros Morne Theatre Festival each summer.

“No matter where she is in this world, that voice, that conviction, it crosses all borders,” said Theatre Newfoundland and Labrador artistic director Jeff Pitcher.

“Whether covering other artists or performing her own songs, each track becomes alive,” said the Paris Voice.

Other upcoming performances in the Underground Sound series include Bumper Jacksons (Oct. 20), Jarabe Mexicano (Oct. 26), Tierro with Bridget Law + WE DREAM DAWN (Nov. 3) and Rob Drabkin (Nov. 9).
