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 [...]
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 [...]

Finishing up a few dates close to home with Rankin, Church & Crowe, and then, off to Saskatchewan. Joyful anticipation…..

Lovely gal, and she can really play, sing and whistle. It went well, and we’ve been invited to do more of a concert type performance, so here is [...]
Floors and glasses.

Fall dates with Rankin, Church and Crowe
Just an early word about our fall dates…. October 19th @ the Carleton. Last time we were there, we did two great nights and we really glad to see so many people. The Carleton is about the greatest little listening rooms I’ve played. And you can eat and drink. Well, I can’t (guitar in the [...]
She’s back
What a summer so far. Between the heat, humidity, torrential rains and company it’s been hard to sit down to the keyboard. The heat enervates, the humidity more so. The rains – well, as the great songwriter Roy Forbes says: the farmer needs the rain. The company welcome and easy. Going back to my week [...]

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.
