I can't believe I ate the whole thing.

About Me

Hi. We're Jayber Crow. When we're parting ways with people, and they wave and say, "Take it easy, guys," we take them seriously. That's why we're slowing things down for a while. We'll be back with a new album before you know it, though. So, stay tuned. And keep in touch.
To purchase one of the few remaining copies of our EP, The Farmer and the Nomad, or for booking inquiries, please email [email protected]
"Jayber Crow is what your ears drink because they can't drink hot tea: warm and inviting, and possibly good for you." --Carma Nibarger, Nuvo: Indy's Alternative Voice
"[The Farmer and the Nomad gives] the sense that these two just sat down on any given back porch (overlooking an Iowa cornfield, presumably) with their instruments and equipment and hit "record." The results are breathtaking..." --Matthew R. Perrine, Duluth Budgeteer News
"[M]y favorite local release this year. Hawkins and Nelson both have smooth, pleasant voices that compliment the hopeful nature of most of their songs." --April Wright, Sliver Magazine
"Jayber Crow is one-of-a-kind." --Bethany Prosseda, The Scarlet and Black
