Editor's note

Allison Crowe writes from the personal and the quiet.

A Canadian singer-songwriter whose folk music charts a life of health, identity, and resilience.

For a quick sense of her, try 'Wedding Song' for its warmth and 'A Case of You' for that voice. They frame her well.

Her songs often feel like direct dispatches from her own experiences. 'A Case of You' shows her knack for covering a classic with a raw, personal touch. The original 'Wedding Song' and the period-specific 'The House That Jack Built' ground her catalog in specific moments of her life, from celebration to illness.

She started writing songs as a teenager in Nanaimo and released her debut 'River Wide' in 1996. A Lyme disease diagnosis in 2006 forced a pause and inspired new writing, and later she used her platform to speak openly about her bisexuality and LGBTQ+ support.
