Verses, Morrisons Jig Allison Crowe and Band W2 U1
From Allison Crowe and Band a new, live, recording Verses. Musicians Allison Crowe (vocals, piano, guitar, fiddle, bodhran), Céline Sawchuk (cello, vocals), Sarah White (mandolin, guitar, vocals), Dave Baird (bass, vocals) Keelan Purchase (accordion, 12string guitar, bodhran, harmonica, vocals) recently banded together on the lovely isle of Newfoundland for sessions and shows. For a flock of creators who live, literally, all over the map its a rare chance to slow the world a bit. We had time to experiment, and think more about the larger picture musically, says bassist birder Dave. Its only the beginning. Its just the first weve had opportunity to work the music out without much time restraint. It was fun, relaxed, and productive. Melding into one sound and performance experience the rawest of folk roots and the richest of arena rock that barely begins to describe the originality and freshness of the quintets music and personality.
