Crowsong started off in 1997 with founder Randy Clark playing slide guitar with drummers Skooter Fein and Wade Peterson.Clark had just returned from India, where he studied Sarod.The first big show was opening for the Mermen at a legendary party in the Presidio, where Crowsong played on a busted pier sticking out of the water, with Clark blasting through Jim Thomas's Dual Showman's and no less than five drummers!Soon after Crowsong released "Dark Comes Light "and got on the Top Ten Indie Releases in San Francisco for 1999, as well as getting great reviews in The Bay Guardian, Relix ,Dirty Linen, and lots of other magazines.NPR played parts of the record on All Things Considered. In 2002, Crowswong released "Western", and Randy started singing in the band.The lineup changed on this cd, adding bass player Josh Zucker and drummer Dave Kaufman. Crowsong were now a trio, and getting more twangy and rootsy. In 2007 Crowsong released their most ambitious cd yet: a double record called Shelter Eternal. This release has one disc of songs with words, and one instrumental disc.Clark added his old Mermen pal Vince Littleton on drums, and the band has never sounded better. Josh Zucker played bass and Jordan Glascoe played piano,wurlitzer and organ.My friend and engineer Jon Evans played bass on two songs "Shelter "and "Companion Song" We're thrilled to play, and want to tour and keep putting out records.In 2007 Crowsong welcomed Eric Kurtzrock on drums.We had a last minute show and Eric played great, and we've been playing together ever since.Late in 2007, Justin Flores took over as the bass player in Crowsong.He had been touring as a ballet, and modern dancer, and his groove is really solid. Ten years after our gig on the busted pier, Crowsong is still getting better and hitting their stride with a great new record. Here's our press release.
