Allison Crowe & Special Guest in Concert Fundraiser for Westcoast Community Resources Society

"Allison Crowe has a voice to fall in love with. She is from Vancouver Island in Canada, descended from Irish and Manx stock. She's exactly the sort of artist who can make serious headway on her own label and that's just what she's doing," says the UK's Record of the Day.

Now living and recording in Newfoundland, the celebrated singer-songwriter-pianist returns to our west coast to debut songs from her upcoming album, "This Little Bird", at a fundraiser for the Westcoast Community Resources Society. "With the soul of Janis Joplin and the tenderness of fellow Canuck Sarah McLachlan, Crowe rocks with her own unique brand of roots charm", adds Exclaim! magazine.

In concert, Crowe's diverse repertoire ranges from her many original songs, through interpretations of music by such artists as Leonard Cohen, Joni Mitchell, The Beatles, Tori Amos, and Ani DiFranco, with an occasional Broadway show tune or Pearl Jam cover adding to the mix. On Amazon.com, the world's largest online store, Crowe's recordings are perennially among the top downloaded tracks in categories as varied as Alternative Rock, Vocal Jazz, Blues, Contemporary Folk, Singer-Songwriter, and
Traditional British & Celtic Folk.

Allison Crowe is delighted to return to Ucluelet for an encore performance to help raise awareness and funds for the Westcoast Community Resources Society. Committed to ending all forms of abuse, including systemic power imbalances and family violence, the WCRS, in partnership with other services and resources, promotes the equality, diversity and well being of all in the sister communities of Ucluelet and Tofino and beyond. The WCRS is dedicated to providing responsive, safe and supportive services to individuals and families while supporting their right to explore options and make choices in all areas of their lives. Compassion, tolerance, non-violence, self-empowerment, and a non-sexist, non-racist consciousness are among the shared values and goals of the Society.

Special guest artist on this evening is Shawn Stephenson, who will perform an atmospheric set that features guitar live-looping and creative musical expression.
