                                Allison Crowe

Born 28 years ago, on Vancouver Island, in the harbour city of Nanaimo, B.C., today Allison Crowe's reach is global. The audience for her music videos and song downloads numbers in the millions every year.

"Allison sings with such an intensity of emotion, it's easy to see why she's often quoted as saying "Why music? Why breathing?"

"I love singing for people," says Allison Crowe. "It's a way to connect and share with others. Communication is crucial. Just being able to do what I do, to write and sing and perform, makes me feel not only alive, but incredibly lucky. Knowing at any moment everything could change, I don't take one second for granted."

                             Ken McCoy Band

Ken and his band have been performing and recording over the last 20 years at every kind of show from small acoustic intimate settings to full blown out 20,000 people concerts!

In 1985 Ken quit his job and hit the road playing music. He has never looked back. To date, he has written hundreds of songs and recorded and released numerous singles to radio that hit the charts in several countries including Canada, Europe and Australia. Ken has written, produced and released 3 full-length projects. In 2004 Ken released "Prayin' for Rain" donating 100% of the sales of the CD single and airplay royalties to the Canadian Red Cross Disaster Relief Fund.

With over 20 chart hitting singles released to radio to date, countless nominations and awards including SOCAN songwriter of the year and single of the year for “Prayin for Rain”. Ken’s tour schedule is never ending and charity work as well as preparation for an upcoming CD, there is no sign of stopping for Ken.

The Karaoke Room is indoors and has a selection of music available for all to participate.  Please contact us if you would like to be involved.

Our heartfelt thanks to all those performers who came out and made the 2009 edition of Special Woodstock so wonderful.  2010 is our 11th Annual Music Festival, and you are invited!

All performers & entertainers volunteer their time to this great annual event.
