Sherwood Park
Thanks to the folks of Festival Place for the welcome they gave us. These Alberta folks are the finest kind. A few East Coasters there, too. Another fine kind. Back to Calgary tonight for the Bow Valley Folk Club show. Should be another beautiful drive. Oh, I watched a great TED talk this morning. Gem [...]
Olds, Alberta
Had a great time in Olds Alberta last night at the lovely arts and media centre. Wow…nice theatre. The gals shone and the audience was really lovely. Best part was seeing someone’s companion dog sitting right in front of the first row…right in front of us, really. Nice dog…nice people. Oh, and James Logan, our [...]
The West
Off we go. Olds, Edmonton, Bow Valley, Medicine Hat, Forget, Virden, Manitou…back in about ten days. Good news that Raylene’s new CD will be going with us. See ya.
back again
Well, sorry for the long absence. Life, as we continue to understand it. My recent happy experience at the Sherbrooke Songwriter’s Camp was enough to get me through the summer with a sense of satisfaction and joy. Well needed. My fellow “instructors” – facilitators, really – were James Keelaghan, David Francey, Clary Croft and Craig [...]
Just do your job (s).
Repair people, city workers, songwriters, concert presenters, spring flowers, sun, toothbrushes, wine, cats…I repeat: just do your job(s).
Groundhog

A lot of all-season radials are crying on off-ramps. Fools! Even the good drivers stay put -a sensible caution-wanting to avoid the panicked drivers and the silly little [...]
Thanks
Just a quick thanks to everyone who contacted my on my birthday. Especially nice as I don’t list it on Facebook, so I know those of you who wrote or called actually remembered. I saw a picture of myself with JP Cormier in which I look about 75 years old. I think JP (whose birthday [...]
Snowshoeing in the Highlands
Yesterday, in the Cape Breton Highlands, a friend and I show-shoed to the peak of French Mountain. We shuffled through fresh powdery snow, following the cut trail faithfully because of obvious foolishness of wandering off on one’s own. The only footprints we saw were that of moose, coyote and rabbit. – clear, clean registers, and [...]
Last year in review – abridged
After being gently chastised for not blogging regularly, I have committed to, at least, trying to keep with it. I can’t resolve to do it because I so often fail to stay faithful to resolutions. And, who knows what great distractions will sway me? What I can do is recollect the past year. My calendar [...]

Media Info
Often described as a "writer's writer", Susan Crowe is one of Canada's most respected singer songwriters in the folk genre. At once complex, challenging and accessible, Susan's intelligent and moving songs have captivated audiences and reviewers from coast to coast, continent to continent. She possesses, in the words of Britain's Folk Roots magazine, "that rare ability of crafting a lyric that bears scrutiny on its own terms." That rare ability has earned her two Juno nominations, and nominations from both the West Coast and East Coast Music Awards.
