Steeped in rural roots growing up on a farm in northwestern Alberta near the foothills of the Rocky Mountains, Allen brings depth and maturity to the songs. His narratives explore complexities of the heart on tracks like “All Costs”, “Here and Now” and “Alone Together” and look back at the country’s colonial past in “Black and White 1912”, “Crooked River,” and “Frontier Justice.” The melodies are carried by acoustic guitar, mandolin, banjo, lap steel, and piano and in arrangements that always create just the right sonic space for his soulful baritone vocal. Allen Dobb (Acoustic guitar, mandolin, and vocals) will be performing at Lantern with Cameron Dobb, on lap steel, keyboards, accordion, and guitar.
Allen Dobb’s musical journey has taken him to Austin, Texas, Nashville, TN, Lesotho, Southern Africa, and places in between. He has performed at the Edmonton, Winnipeg, and Mariposa folk festivals and the legendary Bumbershoot Festival in the U.S. He has toured the U.K. and shared the stage with a diverse group of artists including Shawn Colvin, Jann Arden, Jesse Winchester, Peter Case, Darden Smith, Stephen Fearing, Roy Forbes, and Ziggy Marley.
“One of the finest and most literate tunesmiths in this country... ” Peter North - The Edmonton Journal
