Frantzie -- the man needs but one name -- brings an irresistible bassline as well as complex, emotionally raw songwriting and vocal harmonies.

Crooked Crow formed in 2001, upon the ashes of their previous incarnation, Acoustic Reign. Building themselves a strong following in the Washington DC area as a band with a large repertoire of cover hits-plus a strong pool of original songs-Crooked Crow became a familiar name around town for parties and a rockin' good time. Their original music is best described as high energy, straight-up rock and roll, featuring obvious classic and Southern rock influences coupled with modern lyric and rhythm stylings. The band's sound has been compared to bands like R.E.M., Tonic, and Vertical Horizon.
