Mike Allison CD's

Mike Allison is a New Brunswick singer/songwriter who went to Mount Allison University, and who has also performed at the Olive Branch several times.

Recently, we helped him release a new CD, entitled "Tilting At Windmills." This CD includes a new song ("When I Grow Old") which is currently climbing up the Canadian radio charts, and it also has several of Mike's other songs which have been released over the past several years. So in some ways, it is a mix of new hits and past favorites. There is even a live song at the end of the CD which was originally recorded one of the evenings that he performed at the Olive Branch.

Here's a link to the video for "When I Grow Old," as posted on YouTube:




You may hopefully see this video appearing on MuchMusic and other national media outlets in the near future. The video stars several people who are directly or indirectly associated with either the Olive Branch Restaurant or with Mount Allison University. As a hint, the "grown-up" couple in the video are Robert Campbell, the President of Mount Allison University, and his wife Christl.

Copies of the "Tilting At Windmills" CD are now available for sale at the Olive Branch, and are just $10.00 each (this is the price with HST included). We hope that many of our customers will be interested in purchasing a copy of this CD, and we certainly hope that you enjoy Mike's music. The entire CD is a mix of Canadian folk music and indie soft rock, so it should appeal to a variety of tastes.
