CROW vs LION

About Me

CROW vs LION are from Bucks County, Pennsylvania, said to be raised by animals. Dark, whiskey drinking beasts. They sing songs about the dark and light shades of life and love, self exploration, and the pursuit of peace of mind.
Thanks to all of those that have come out and continue to come out to our shows and those that have taken pictures of live performances, we greatly appreciate it, especially Rachael and Katie. The banner at the top of this page was done by Joe Duffey. And most importantly, I edited my profile with Thomas Myspace Editor V4.4 (www.strikefile.com/myspace)
"Crow vs Lion plays music that is boiled down to its soup-to-nuts folk and updated with a huge understanding of modern musical sensibilities. Reminiscent of Greenwich Village ensembles of the 60's while being as contemporary and urbane as Amos Lee" - Mike Dellavechia of Starving Artist of Philly and Acoustic Philly
"Breezy and emotive hooks." - Matthew Parish of www.philadelphiaweekly.com
"Sounds like fried chicken smoking Lucky Strikes." - J.B. of Sweetheart Parade
