The Crane Wives / wsg Chris Dorman, Seth Bernard & Steven Leaf

The Crane Wives are an indie-folk outfit from Grand Rapids, MI that defies musical stereotypes. Formed in late August of 2010, they just finished recording their debut album entitled "Safe Ship, Harbored." Using three-part vocal harmonies, eclectic instrumentation and a knack for dynamics, they create organic music that is both accessible and innovative. Each live show features contagious energy as well as original music that ranges from whisper quiet ballads to danceable grooves.

Here's what people are saying:

"Everything about this band is organic."
- Phil Sieb, Harmelody Artist Profile: The Crane Wives (Dec 28, 2009)

"The band is a kind of neo-folk group with rumbling drums rhythms, dual acoustic guitars and the distinct sound of banjo tiptoeing the old country fence."
- Elijah Brumback, Members of Crane Wives share GV roots, set to begin recording debut album (Nov 04, 2010)

"A unique, vocal-heavy brand of folk rock."
- Kevin VanAntwerpen, Revue Magazine

"It is a rare act that truly does not have screaming fans staring at just one person during a concert because of their obvious prominence, and if there's anyone in Michigan, at least on the west-side, that has the opportunity to completely engulf themselves in this all-for-one philosophy, it would be this band."
- Phil Sieb, Harmelody Artist Profile: The Crane Wives (Dec 28, 2010)

"With the promise of bare feet in the mud and taking naps in trees, The Crane Wives want to take you to a place with no gas stations or landfills in sight and to pull out their banjos and bongos and sing to you, only you, if you let them"
