}}Susan Crowe is a Canadian folk singer-songwriter.[1][2] She was the 2009 Canadian Folk Music Awards English songwriter of the year and has been nominated for two Juno Awards.[3][4]

Career

Crowe's interest in music began when her father and mother enrolled her in piano lessons as a child.[1] While she did not enjoy the piano, she began playing her older brother's guitar.[2] Crowe was writing songs by the time she was 11 years old and performing in coffee houses at age 19.[5] She performed at coffee houses and folk clubs in the Halifax, Nova Scotia area through the late 1970s.[2]

In 1980, Crowe moved to Toronto, Ontario to further her musical career and help her partner through medical school by working as a waitress and at the Canada Post.[2][6] Eight years later she moved to Vancouver, British Columbia, where she worked multiple jobs, including stints as a waitress, art gallery assistant, mail carrier and beekeeper.[1][2]

Crowe returned to music in 1994 and released her first album, This Far From Home, that same year.[1][2][7] The production of This Far From Home was paid for using proceeds from a coffee shop located in the south side of Vancouver that Crowe had opened.[6] This Far From Home was nominated for the 1996 Juno award for Best Roots & Traditional Album: Solo.[3] In 1996 she also released her second album, The Door to the River.[7] Her third album, A Pilgrim's Mirror, was released in 2000.[7] A Pilgrim's Mirror was nominated for a West Coast Music Award.[1]

In the early 2000s Crowe toured the Czech Republic with artists including Katherine Wheatley and Lenka Slaba.[8] She joined Laura Smith and Cindy Church to form the trio brava in 2002 at the urging of music agent Chris Hopkins.[9] brava toured throughout Canada from 2003-2004.[10]

Crowe released Book of Days, her fourth album, in 2003. Book of Days was produced by Danny Greenspoon and was nominated for two awards: the 2004 Juno award for Roots & Traditional Album of the Year: Solo, and the 2004 East Coast Music Association award for Roots / Traditional Solo Artist of the Year.[3][11] She also won Music Nova Scotia's 2004 Female Artist of the Year award for her work on Book of Days.[1] Five years later, in 2009, Crowe released Greytown, which was also produced by Greenspoon.[1] Her work on Greytown earned Crowe the 2009 Canadian Folk Music Award for English songwriter of the year.[12]

She served as executive producer for All the Diamonds, Raylene Rankin's final album.[13]

Associated acts

From 2003-2004, Crowe toured throughout Canada with Laura Smith and Cindy Church as a member of the group brava.[6][10] In 2007, Crowe reunited with Church when she, Church and Raylene Rankin formed the group Rankin, Church & Crowe.[14][15] Rankin, Church & Crowe released a live album entitled Live at Alderney Landing in 2008.[15] Rankin, Church and Crowe toured together until fall 2011 when Rankin underwent treatment for a recurrence of cancer. Following Rankin's death in 2012, Crowe began performing less and concentrating on Corvus Records, her record label.[16]

Corvus Records

Susan Crowe founded Corvus Records in 1996 to help independent artists complete recording projects.[17] Artists signed to Corvus include John Reischman, John Reischman and The Jaybirds, John Miller, Nick Hornbuckle, and Susan Crowe.[18][19] Raylene Rankin was also signed to Corvus Records prior to her death in 2012.
