Allison Crowe In Concert at NYC’s Laurie Beechman Theatre, Oct. 16

(PRWEB) October 12, 2004

Passionate and intense vocalist/pianist Allison Crowe performs in the intimate setting of New York’s Laurie Beechman Theatre on Saturday, October 16 at 8 p.m.

This special perfor­mance, to benefit Project Warmth, will cele­brate the release of “Secrets”, the singer-songwriter’s new album (distributed by Festival, Canada’s premiere purveyor of jazz, blues, folk, roots and world music).

Allison Crowe’s sound appeals to an uniquely broad audience. She has been compared to a crazily wide range of artists ~ including Patti

Smith, Laura Nyro, Carole King, Eddie Vedder, Mahalia Jackson, Joni Mitchell and those mentioned in some of the quotes below. Really,

though, she just sounds like Allison Crowe. As one news­paper reviewer has said: “Make your own compar­isons then forget them.”

Allison’s roots are in clas­sical and jazz, and she embraces rock, folk, pop, blues, gospel and roots music in her sound. She performs her own

songs along with inter­pre­ta­tions of material by Leonard Cohen, Pearl Jam, Ani DiFranco, The Beatles and others.

The National Post (one of Canada’s two national news­papers) has described Allison’s sound as “jazz/blues/rock” and her voice as

combining “Janis Joplin’s ballsy power and Sarah McLachlan’s lilting sweetness”. Pop star Jewel selected Allison as one of her favourite

artists, saying on her website: “Beau­ti­fully moody or riotously rocking, Allison Crowe creates piano-based music of tran­scendent quality.”

The Victoria Jazzfest Inter­na­tional guide says this: “Described as ‘the next big thing to come from Vancouver Island,’ singer-pianist Allison

Crowe is defi­nitely a phenomenon in the making. Crowe is a certified poet whose rich, powerful voice shows the influ­ences of everyone from

Tori Amos and Sarah McLachlan to Janis Joplin and even Nina Simone. Born and raised in Nanaimo, Crowe is a clas­si­cally trained pianist who has grad­ually created her own special blend of jazz, folk, rock and blues.”

The Laurie Beechman Theatre is located at 407 West 42nd (at 9th) in New York City (under­neath the West Bank Café) http://www.allisoncrowe.com Please bring a blanket or warm article of clothing as price of admission. For more info contact: management@allisoncrowe.com and visit http://www.edaf.org
