Special benefit shows with Allison Crowe

Allison Crowe performs 2008 EDAF benefit concerts

Singer/songwriter Allison Crowe performed two concerts to benefit the EveryDay Angels Foundation this summer. A July 10th show was held at The Lily Pad in Cambridge, MA and a July 19th show at New York City's Laurie Beechman Theatre.

The EDAF thanks Allison, Adrian and Angus for their generosity and support of the Foundation!

Since 2003 Allison Crowe has released six critically and commercially successful albums. Her songs and music videos online enjoy an audience numbering in the millions. Grassroots touring each year across Canada and Europe has earned her a reputation for exciting live shows that stir together original songs with much-loved interpretations from the popular songbook in an organic blend of rock, jazz, folk, Broadway, gospel and soul. It's a joyous sound that one music critic describes as 'Elton John meets Edith Piaf'.

Recently returning to North America following concert dates in Paris, Vienna, Frankfurt, Prague and Scotland, Crowe proved a sensation at the 'John Lennon Northern Lights Festival' in Scotland. "Canadian angel Alison Crowe gave one of the weekend's most magical moments," says The Scotsman, Scotland's national newspaper. Festival Director Mike Merritt describes Crowe as "awesome" and "spine-tingling", noting her performance in the Highlands "put hairs on the back of your neck! She brought the house down."

This is what critcs are saying about Allison Crowe:

"Ever wonder what it would have been like to listen to a gifted singer/songwriter from Saskatchewan in a small, intimate hall before she became Joni Mitchell? Don't fret the missed opportunity. There's no need to turn back the clock. Check out Allison Crowe."
– The Record (Canada)

"Treat yourself to one of the mightiest talents on the singer-songwriter scene today."
– Bob Muller, JoniMitchell.com (USA)

"Her version of 'I Never Loved a Man (The Way I Love You)' would give Aretha Franklin goose-bumps."
– Robert Moyes, Boulevard (Canada)

"The most honest, heartfelt, and directly intimate concert in my entire life."
– Ross Hocker, WGTE/NPR Radio (USA)
