Recently nominated for Best Songwriter and Best Blues Band by the Coast Best of Halifax Readers’ Choice Award. Snow has been playing throughout the Maritimes showcasing his raspy and soulful sound. His music perfectly encapsulates the transient life he’s lived thus far. Snow lived all across Atlantic Canada in many different homes throughout his childhood, before settling in Halifax where he considers home, for now.
Snow’s music knows no genre limitations with nods to country, blues, jazz, rock and folk. An accomplished songwriter, he credits legends like Eric Clapton, Etta James, Muddy Waters, and Skip James for his sound. To get a good feel for Snow’s vibe, check out his song Wolf in Disguise. It definitely has a classic jazz sound, with an uptempo double bass, reminiscent of those swing dance days. When Allen Snow isn’t performing or recording, he’s working as a damage control training instructor, and raising his two young children.
