艺人资料

Crooked Still,自称为“另类蓝草风格”( alternative bluegrass band )的一个年轻组合。2001 年在美国波士顿成立,现有成员5名。主唱Aoife O'Donovan,班卓琴演奏Dr. Gregory Liszt,贝斯手Corey DiMario,大提琴手Tristan Clarridge 和小提琴手Brittany Haas。前成员大提琴手Rushad Eggleston。

和传统的蓝草民谣相比,Crooked Still的音乐更精致人文,特别是器乐的演奏非常棒,音乐素质确实功底不凡。舒缓的大提琴,温柔的女声,一丝甜意流淌到心中,难得有这种抒情的乐曲让人安静下来。

Crooked Still is a band consisting of vocalist Aoife O'Donovan, banjo player Gregory Liszt, bassist Corey DiMario, cellist Tristan Clarridge and fiddler Brittany Haas. They are known for their high energy, technical skill, unusual instrumentation, and innovative acoustic style.

The string band's style is variously described as progressive bluegrass, folk-country, and Americana.O'Donovan states that the band is playing its &own sort of continuation& on the bluegrass tradition that began in the U.S. with Bill Monroe and Jimmy Martin.

O'Donovan and DiMario met at the New England Conservatory of Music in Boston, Massachusetts in the spring of 2001. Former member Rushad Eggleston, who was studying cello at Berklee College of Music, and Liszt, a graduate student at MIT, were playing music together around the same time, and when the four met that summer, they formed a band that became Crooked Still. While its members finished school, the group played various Boston venues, growing in popularity and collecting favorable reviews from the local press.

Crooked Still went on to appear at concert halls, festivals, coffeehouses, and nightclubs in 23 states and several countries. On August 22, 2006, the group released their second album, ‘Shaken by a Low Sound’.

Cellist Rushad Eggleston performed his last show with the band on November 18, 2007, at the Iron Horse in Northampton, Massachusetts. He parted ways with Crooked Still to pursue his own music with band Tornado Rider. In January 2008 two new members joined the band: cellist Tristan Clarridge and fiddler Brittany Haas, both of whom have toured in Darol Anger's Republic of Strings. The band released its first album with the new lineup, ‘Still Crooked’ in 2008, a live album in 2009, and a studio full-length, Some Strange Country, in 2010.

In honor of their tenth anniversary together as a band, Crooked Still embarked on a major tour of the Northeast and the Pacific Northwest, and released a 7-song EP called Friends of Fall in October 2011.After the final show of their 2011 tour, Crooked Still took a three-year touring and recording hiatus (originally planned to be one year) for its members to pursue other musical projects.

They appeared at the 43rd Annual RockyGrass festival in Lyons, CO on July 26th, 2015.
