Crowfield

Local outfit Crowfield has been burning up the road in a time-honored rock ’n’ roll right of passage. The stalwart band spent the spring soaring along the East Coast in support of the polished and heartfelt Goodbye, Goodnight, So Long Midwestern. Hints of the plaintive balladry of Train and Counting Crows are revealed in songs like “Give,” while “Love is Hell on the Lonely” would settle comfortably alongside Ryan Adams’ softer fare. This summer, the band plans to self-release a video for their first single, “Jesus in My Pocket,” currently receiving a nationwide radio push from M:M Music. Though he’s proud of the album, front man Tyler Mechem says, “The live show really gets people interested. We’re doing it the way we want to, and it’s starting to catch on.”
