The Crane Wives, hailing from Grand Rapids, Michigan, have been captivating audiences with their unique blend of indie-folk and rock since their formation in 2010. In this episode, Eli talks to bandmates Emilee Petersmark and Dan Rickabus, who together with Kate Pillsbury and Ben Zito, create a sound characterized by high-energy melodies, dynamic percussion, driving bass lines, and soulful three-part harmonies. Their lyrics often explore themes of mythology, darkness, and inner conflict, providing a profound counterbalance to their lively stage presence.
This summer, The Crane Wives are set to release their latest album, “Beyond, Beyond, Beyond.” Anticipation is high for their new single “Scars,” which is scheduled to drop on August 7, 2024. All of which is talked about in this interview. Fans can catch The Crane Wives live at the Strings Music Festival in Steamboat Springs on August 18, 2024. This performance is part of their ongoing tour, which showcases their evolving sound and energetic live shows.
