Bart Crow Band
Artist Bio
Sometimes business gets in the way of the show, which is usually a sign of success for performers. When playing over 200 dates a year and with songs rocketing up the charts, the two hours onstage each night can almost be a footnote in a band’s day. Not for Bart Crow. With six Top 10 singles on the Texas Music Chart and over 30,000 albums and downloads sold, Crow has hit multiple milestones in his career. However, his much-anticipated Winding Road Music release BREWSTER STREET LIVE solidifies the Bart Crow Band as one of the most dynamic live bands in the Texas/Red Dirt scene and beyond.
BREWSTER STREET LIVE hits stores on March 1, 2011 with three new songs and fourteen familiar hits. It’s the first live album recorded at Corpus Christi’s famed venue, and there is no better band to capture the trifecta of energy between performer, audience, and room. Good live albums capture a good show; great ones are a timeless mark of a band at their best. With a sold out crowd and guest appearances from Brendon Anthony and Meagan Jones, the excitement can’t help but be embedded in each track, and BREWSTER STREET LIVE transports listeners to the front row of this momentous show.
At the heart of a good show are great songs, and Crow is known for his honest and relatable writing. Songs like the No. 1 “Saying Goodbye,” “Run With The Devil,” and “Wear My Ring” are what keeps the Bart Crow Band on the road and on the charts. His personal experiences are woven into each track, from his service in the Army to dealing with family tragedy to just needing to have a good time. Crow trusts his fans to listen to what he has to say, and they trust him to bring them through life’s familiar roller coaster of fear to confidence and tragedy and to redemption. Recorded and engineered by Adam Odor (Dixie Chicks, Cross Canadian Ragweed, Jason Boland, Courtyard Hounds), BREWSTER STREET LIVE features Bart Crow (Vocals, Acoustic & Electric Guitars), Paul Russell (Vocals, Electric Guitar), Matt Slagle (Bass Guitar), David Fralin (Vocals, Keyboards, Organ, Electric Guitar & Percussion), and Jay Warren (Drums & Percussion).
BREWSTER STREET LIVE is certain to add to the Bart Crow Band’s considerable list of rave reviews and accolades that are all across the great state of Texas where Crow has become a household name, and also nationally in premier outlets such as AOL’s The Boot, Country Weekly Magazine, American Country Magazine, About.com, Music Connection Magazine, Digital Rodeo and Today’s Country Magazine. Crow has come by his fan base honestly; his commitment to truth in his songwriting bleeds over into how he runs his business and how he performs. It is no wonder that over 1,000 fans can be heard singing along on BREWSTER STREET LIVE, with thousands more sure to be singing along with this landmark live album.
