About The Crane Wives
Born of the 2010’s folk boom and now comfortably stationed in their rock and roll era, The Crane Wivesepitomize the evolving sound of the indie genre. Having performed hundreds of shows on stages across the country, they gravitate toward high-energy melodies while their lyrics extol the shadow side of thehuman condition, delving into mythology and themes of darkness and inner conflict. The band has amassed over 1 million monthly listeners on Spotify, racking up over 100 million streams on their most popular songs and accumulating listenership from far-flung corners of the US to the UK, Australia, Germany, Brazil, Poland, Mexico, and the Philippines. Winners of the JBL’s “Best American Band Contest” in 2017 and named one of Paste Magazine's “12 Michigan Acts You Should Be Listening To Now,” The Crane Wives have 5 full-length albums under their belts and have performed over 600 shows across the US, sharing stages with acts such as The Avett Brothers, Lake Street Dive, Rusted Root, The Dead South, Joseph, and many more. Featured by Michigan Radio and NPR’s “All Songs Considered”, the band has been the recipient of several local accolades such as the WYCE Best Rock/Pop album for their last full-length studio record, “Foxlore.” The pulse of the Crane Wives, Ben Zito (bass) and Dan Rickabus (drums) create a groovy backdrop integral to the band’s sound, while co-leads Emilee Petersmark and Kate Pillsbury duel on electric guitar and strongly-belted vocals. The band softens the blows of their emotional candor with soulful three-part vocal harmonies, like a 21st century Cerberus, the hound of Hades reimagined as an emotional support animal. To date, they have released six full length albums, including their 2020 live album, “Here I Am.” Their new album, Beyond Beyond Beyond is out now.

Amazing music and amazing people. They seemed like they were having as much fun on stage as the fans in the audience. Their indie-folk-rock-punk songs touch hearts, validate personal struggles and inspire people to sing at the top of their voice and let that sh*t go. Rock on! 🤘and namaste 🙏

The Crane Wives are a great band. The Venice West show had them taking a few songs to gel, but once warmed up they delivered with dexterous guitar interplay and the soaring 3 part harmonies which are their stock in trade.

They were kind and had great energy. They were fun. They played some of their best songs and also some that are not available yet. The opening act Tomi was really good as well. Here’s a picture of Tomi.

They were super approachable. All visibly tired from a packed tour, but frontwoman Emily stayed behind after the show for pictures and fan love. Lots of teenagers in the audience, including my young one and friend.
