MORE ABOUT LINCOLN CROCKETT:
Lincoln Crockett is the real deal, a talented solo performer singing standout original songs on mandolin & guitar, all while playing leads, rhythms and chords all at the same time. He holds audiences’ attention with nothing more than the expansiveness in his voice and his ability to move a mountain of music through his instruments. Stylistically he twists funk, punk, bluegrass, new-age, prog-rock and folk into a mesmerizing set of uplifting, wry soul-searching. The combined effect has garnered Lincoln attention from within the regional music industry community, the reputation of being a 'musician's musician' and ever growing audience support.
Lincoln is also a trained and experienced energy healer, and his awareness of the energetic connections between performers and audiences has long influenced his performances. Sensitive to energies from a very young age, music became an expressive tool for bridging the gap between the world he could see and the world he could feel. His songs are often derived directly from his own personal healing process, and have gone on to effect thousands of listeners.
Lincoln cut his chops as singer, songwriter and mandolin player for progressive bluegrass funhouse Cross-eyed Rosie, and helped turn this popular Portland, Oregon five-piece into the Northwest's premier group of its kind. The band sold out it's Portland and Seattle cd release shows for their long-awaited disk second disk Adjusted and remains popular. On an indefinite hiatus since 2008, their final appearance was at Portland's Roots Music festival, Pickathon!
Lincoln is a Portland, Oregon-centered, Pacific Northwestern working musician. Over the past few years he's poured his energy into singing and playing mandolin with a number of projects, including Cross-eyed Rosie and 'blues-grass' duo Robb&Crockett; (with singer/songrocker Jimmy Robb). Many of Rosie's live shows are available for download online, while R&C's last appearance was a remarkable live show in March '08 at Mississippi Studios. More recently, Lincoln's focus has been his remarkable modern folk & bluegrass pairing with award-winning singer/songwriter/multi-instrumentalist Chris Kokesh of nationally recognized folk group Misty River. In 2009 Chris and Lincoln were joined by acoustic guitar wizard and Berklee School of Music dropout Nicolas Miranda to form the boundary-bending acoustic trio Lucky Finn. Lincoln plugs in and turns it up loud with Lincoln Crockett & The Rocktet, a fusion collaboration with a power trio backup-band of members of Portland's Rocktet, featuring virtuoso prog-blues guitarist Jim McKeon, bass player Tyler Smith and drummer Andy Love. From time to time Lincoln also lends his skills to supporting Portland area artists like Brad Creel, Garett Brennan, and Alexa Wiley.
The past few years have been eventful. In addition to frequent performances and the release of Angels & Devils Alike, in 2007 Lincoln opened for Phish's Page McConnell at Portland's Aladdin Theater, had his song 'When Will You Come Home' featured on KINK 101.9FM's Local Music Spotlight and placed his popular song 'Sawdust Settler' on a compilation benefiting the Salmon Nation Project. He began 2008 with more continuous gigging, more tours into Washington, a guest appearance sitting-in with virtuosos Tony Furtado and Scott Law, and yet another spin on KINK. From here Lincoln continued touring, completed work on In Pictures and Play In The Yard, and stayed his course as a successful, independent, and uniquely Pacifc NorthWestern musician.
As a solo performer, Lincoln's intricately crafted pop, bluegrass rippers and personal folk songs are full of soul and motion: fluid, expressive, gentle, intense. This is especially apparent live. He is a top-notch musician on both of his instruments, and sings in one of the most strikingly beautiful voices to come out of Portland's Indie-loving underbelly. Totally unique, this is a modern ear returning to traditional instruments. Call it the sound of when gentle kicks a##.
