Crabwise: {reprise}

Ten years ago a group of kids, fresh out of high-school, combined forces to create something. It was something that was a little sloppy at times, a little erratic at other times, and quite naive most of the time. But, it was all heart and some very good music was being created around this thing.

Over the last few months, Nate Case, Keith Yanes and myself have been caught up in a discussion of what it would be like to re-start our music collective/ record company. It has been invigorating, challenging, and purposeful.

The three of us all have different reasons why we want to do this again. I think what it boils down to is this; Crabwise was, and is, a special thing. What we set out to do with Crabwise continues to manifest itself in our lives. The constant searching for new and different types of music, the ever-present determination to support the little guy, the appreciation of art in all forms. It pervades our days.

It is in that spirit that we set out and officially relaunch our company. This time with more wisdom, more focus and the same heart.

Crabwise Mission Statement:

Inspired by creativity and a dedication for aesthetics within a variety of artistic outlets, Crabwise exists as a conduit for shared musical experiences. Our personality is expressed through social media, live event promotion, and tangible recordings. Direct support from you is the driving force that continues to move us in a Crabwise manner.

The Saturday Morning Playlist

I have reached this place in my life where I will, without any alarm, wake up pretty early on Saturday mornings. Saturday mornings are the best. No commitments, just chillin’.

Saturday morning is also a great time to listen to music.

Pretty consistently, over the past couple of years, I have been listening to Five Leaves Left by Nick Drake on Saturday mornings.

To me, this record is one of my favorites and fits perfectly on Saturday mornings. I highly recommend waking up early on a Saturday and giving this album a spin!

Kaki and Peach Rings

One time, Keith was opening for Kaki King. Keith loves Kaki. I think they share the same type of feeling of music that is as natural as breathing to them.

Keith made me put Peach Rings in Kaki’s dressing room. Peach Rings are the best.
