Page "Allison Crowe" Paragraph 3

Crowe, of Scottish, Irish, and Manx descent, grew up surrounded by jazz, classical and rock music, and discovered additional influences on her own such as Ani DiFranco, Pearl Jam, Tori Amos and Counting Crows.

She plays music of all these genres, making her difficult to categorize: in Amazon. com ’ s downloads, she has simultaneously been in the top three on the Rock Singer-Songwriters, Hymns, Blues, Jazz, Broadway and British & Celtic Folk charts.

" Drawing from classical, jazz, pop and gospel sources, the young singer has created singular, inspiring music both in the studio and in the concert hall .” ( Joseph Blake, Victoria Times Colonist, March 24, 2005 ).
