About Me


Crossbill Records started in the summer of 2005 by KDVS DJ and Davis music ambassador Michael Leahy, with the full love and support of the label's roster: Garrett Pierce, Mad Cow String Band, Matt Bauer and Jake Mann. With our most recent release, Jake Mann's "Daytime Ghost", we are up to four well respected records that have all garnered the appreciation and praise of diverse music fans, radio djs, journalists and peers. We have most recently unveiled the latest from the nest, Sacramento's Silver Darling with their "Your Ghost Fits My Skin" LP. This record will receive our biggest push yet and we hope you give it a listen. There are some other exciting happenings brewing and we can't wait to tell you about them and we'll keep you up to date with where we are going. We're always looking for new and talented friends to join the Crossbill Records family. Please contact us if you're interested in purchasing any of the releases or have questions about Crossbill Records. Thanks for supporting independent voices and we'll see you out at the shows.
