Allison Crowes bootleg video series continues here with a celebratory nod to this weekends opening of Newfoundland Vinyl - the hit Theatre Newfoundland and Labrador production at the Gros Morne Theatre Festival (staged in Canadas beautiful Gros Morne National Park). TNL proclaims: Newfoundland Vinyl is back! And this time its The C Side. Allison Crowe has made this show into a perennial Festival favourite. The vinyl Newfoundland hits of the 1960s, 70s and 80s by Newfoundlands biggest recording stars are never- ending. From Harry Hibbs The Wild Rover to Eddy Coffeys Area Code 709 to Corey & Trinas Northern Lights of Labrador Allison manages to lay bare the simple and beautiful melodies and lyrics of our most talented artists. The show spins each Tuesday and Friday from July 11 - August 29 at the GMTF -- and the incredibly talented and versatile cast, says Allison, features the wonderful performing roster of musicians/actors: Colin Furlong, Craig Haley, Claire Hewlett, Amelia Manuel, Stephanie Payne, Keelan Purchase, and Marquita Walsh. With Adam Christopher Brake as Ed. NVs stellar cast is supported by a shining set of northern production lights: Director - Jeff Pitcher/Allison Crowe; Musical Director - Allison Crowe; Stage Manager - Effie Parsons; Set Design - Derek Butt; Costume Design - Lindsay Code; Original Sound Design - Dirk Ave; Original Lighting Design - Johnny Cann; and Sound Coordination & Lighting Coordination - Laura Penney. Allison Crowe enjoys curating and arranging the music - mining a treasure trove of tunes from the region - songs that cover a full range of genres and emotions. And when she tours the world Crowe carries the sounds of home to her international audience. On this concert night at Jazzhaus Freiburg in Germany - she performs a song penned by Terry Skinner thats first recorded by Canadian country great Eddie Eastman (in 1979). Allison Crowe recorded it for her album Newfoundland Vinyl: music.allisoncrowe/track/easy (released, naturally, as on vinyl LP). On its release last year, Gery Deugaw, the super-dedicated cultural archivist behind GEST Songs of Newfoundland and Labrador @ wtv-zone/phyrst/audio/nfld - notes: After all the years of travelling the Trans-Canada, Eddie Eastman was inducted into the Canadian Country Music Hall of Honour in 2010. Allison Crowe performs this song with the easy sound it needs to be successfully reprised in the 21st century.
