ABOUT Allen
About Allen
Singer-songwriter Allen Snow, has the singing chops of a man who's lived a thousand lifetimes, with a raspy and soulful sound that perfectly encapsulates the transient life he's lived thus far.
Snow doesn't have a hometown per se but does consider himself an East Coaster. An unconventional upbringing had him move throughout various homes in Eastern Canada before settling in Halifax, NS in 2010. A constant in Snow's life was his love of making music. He's been singing for as long as he can remember, beginning his journey as an artist recording cassettes of himself singing to the radio. He picked up his first guitar at age 10, and with a little help discovered musical greats like Eric Clapton, Etta James, Muddy Waters, and Skip James. When listening to Snow's music, it isn't hard to tell that these artists have heavily influenced his sound; Allen has a voice that blurs the lines between George Ezra, Chris Stapleton and Tom Waits with song writing inspired by contemporary artists such as Jason Isbell and Melody Gardot. In the wake of his debut album "The Quorum," he continues to perform live in the Halifax area. To get a good feel for his breakout album, check out the song "Wolf in Disguise." on the music page.
Retired from the Royal Canadian Navy in August of 2023, When Allen Snow isn't performing or recording, he is raising his two children and studying Music Arts at NSCC Ivany Campus. Head over to the events page to find out when you can hear him live next!
