LINCOLN CROCKETT: News

...meeting new people, seeing old friends, solidifying new friendships... just getting to share my excitement about music with new people makes it all worth while, to say nothing of actually making a living doing what I love.

That said, last weekend's run of shows was worth writing home about. Chris Kokesh and I began on Thursday in Cottage Grove, OR at the Axe and Fiddle. Great venue, always the most laid back vibe. Sparse attendance, but everyone there locked-in, right down to the end of the bar and the end of the night. Chris and I are locking in to a musical love-affair ourselves, these duo shows are special and we look forward to doing more soon.

Friday I headed out to the Dalles, OR to play at the Westwind Gallery, and ended up landing in the middle of the intersection of the tight-knit outdoors community and the tight-knit music and arts community in the Eastern Gorge. Thanks to Marty for hosting and Richard Hallman for his gorgeous photos I had to look away from, plus his shots of men quite literally throwing themselves to the wind. It was like finding a piece of the world I knew in and around Colorado right here in the Northwest. Can't wait to get back.

Saturday I returned to remote Guemes Island and the ever-supportive Anderson's General Store. People, the island is laid back, the food is amazing, and they support great live music. I was lucky enough to return when the ferry was foot-traffic only! Picture me with all my instruments, merch and gear loaded into a wheelbarrow! It was hilarious! Like Thursday it was sparse attendance, but this time due to the islanders heading out into the first really warm weather of the year. Meanwhile, those who remained and I had a great evening together. Plus tips and cd sales made it more than worth my time. I am constantly amazed by the response people have to my music. Even if they're only passing through, they take notice.

Sunday Jes Raymond and I played to my Olympia Crew in the strange and wonderful Plenty performance space. Oly is always hit or miss for music, even when Cross-eyed Rosie headed thru, but getting to share songs with my friends who know every word is like playing a stadium show as far as I'm concerned.

More road news to come. See you out there soon!

The clip includes 'Sawdust Settler' and live shots of Lincoln performing the song at the White Eagle in Portland!

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_AhXnb_YETg
Lincoln's song 'Sawdust Settler' was chosen to be part of the Salmon Nation Artist's Project Compilation cd. You can find this amazing and beautiful collection of Pacific Northwestern art and artists at http://cdbaby.com/cd/salmonnation

The 'Biddy Band' now has a name: Lincoln Crockett & Enemies. We're building a LOT of bridges between musical styles - blues, bluegrass, deep grooves & fusion - and having a really exceptional experience doing it. If its half as much fun for you as it is for us you'll have a great time! We're only in the Portland area right now but we think out of towners will agree that its worth the trip. EVERY FIRST FRIDAY with one exception: we'll be off on July 4th to celebrate but returning JULY 22nd.


C U out there!

-Lincoln

Thanks, Everyone, for coming out and making Friday's Portland String Sampler and Saturday's Edgefield Exorcism so much fun.

A review of the String Sampler in Monday's Oregonian said "Cross-eyed Rosie just about stole the night with their cover of David Bowie's "Fame." Can't help but think Bowie would approve." It's good to finally feel cool.

Saturday's Exorcism was marked with friends and fans bringing lots of their friends and packing the winery hall so tight I had folks sitting packed in campfire-style. All we needed was the fire! It was a real treat to hear people singing the lyrics along with the words.

Thanks for your support everyone! See you again soon.

Hi everyone,

On Friday in Portland Cross-eyed Rosie will be sharing the Wonder
Ballroom stage with Sasparilla, Jackstraw and The Clampitt Family at
the Portland String Sampler. This is one of Lincoln & Cross-eyed
Rosie's few shows scheduled for the rest of 2008!

Was it the high ceilings in my antique hotel room in Port Townsend, the peanuts on the floor of the Green Frog in Bellingham, the spontaneous 'Deadwood Mandolin' set-long jam with Deadwood Revival in Seattle or the homeless jazz-man who showed up at the Mandolin Cafe in Tacoma and stayed to find some grooves with me after my set? Or just that the whole endeavor was successful enough to make this seem like a bankable way of life for the future!?

It was all of it and more - especially everyone who made it out to the shows. I was helped by some good press in Port Townsend and Bellingham, but every night people got excited, friends came out of the woodwork, and I came away with a lot of new fans. This is the most rewarding work I've ever done and I can't wait to get back out again! Step by step we're getting there.

Look for more upcoming tour dates in Oregon and Washington every month from now on!

Thanks to everyone who came out and supported last Friday's live recording at Mississippi Studios. We've got the files in hand and will beging chewing on them soon. For now we are thrilled at the show: the energy that night was off the charts! You came with high expectations and from everything I've heard, even old friends and fans were blown away. I've played music to a lot of excited audiences, but never actually heard repeated gasps - repeated gasps - in song after song when the good parts hit. Thanks for coming along with Robb & Crockett and contributing to our first recording. We couldn't have done it without you.

Just wanted to say thank you to everyone who came to this weekend's McMen's gigs:

Robb & Crockett were well-received at Grand Lodge, and a number of my fans commented "You're awesome, but the two of you playing together, that's amazing." Good times.

My Edgefield Exorcism was packed again, PLUS - even more amazing - during 'I Begin Dreaming' a man in the front row knelt before his girlfriend and proposed!! The place went nuts! He said he was waiting for that perfect moment and that song was it. You can see a picture of Justin and Jackie and I on the photos page.

Thank you for these opportunities to work magic & see you at a show soon!

-Lincoln

KINK FM 101.9 IN PORTLAND IS PLAYING LINCOLN'S 'WHEN WILL YOU COME HOME' ON VALENTINES DAY EVENING! CATCH THE BROADCAST BETWEEN 9 & 9:30PM.

Outside Portland you can stream online at www.kink.fm. Thanks to Kink for supporting local music!

This weekend's gigs in Seattle at Mr. Spot's House of Chai and on Guemes Island at Anderson's General Store were every touring musician's dream: full and enthusiastic audiences in places far from home-base. Thanks to the friends and fans who came out already knowing every word, and to everyone who came from myspace or the beautiful posters. We'll let you know when Lincoln's his way up again in March!

... for making Lincoln and Jim McKeon welcome at the Axe & Fiddle last night. The duo filled in short-notice for a gig Cross-eyed Rosie could no longer play (hope you feel better, Alli!), giving them a chance to stretch out and have some fun, much to the delitght of the small crowd. Listeners there have definitely been touched by great music in the past, and to be well received was rewarding. It was an intimate show, the few people there probably could have squeezed into the bakery next door!

Thanks to Brad, Bart, Fred & Stacy at the Axe and to Michael "The Godfather" Cipolina at 106.7 FM KSOW for having Lincoln on for a pre-show interview, live performance and album-listening session. We look forward to being back again, next time with more notice!

Thanks gang, for coming out and supporting us at the Dublin Pub tonight! You are the sexiest bunch of gals and guys - and in some cases the tallest too! what's up with that? - we've ever had the pleasure to aurally pleasure. ah, inuendo...

Great to see some old friends and make some new friends as well. Hope to see you again for our wednesdays there in February!

Tonight Lincoln sat in with banjo/slide player Tony Furtado & guitarist/mandolinist Scott Law for the second set of their January series at the Laurelthirst Pub in Portland. For those who don't know them, Tony and Scott are some of the largest names in instrumental acoustic music on the West Coast, and as it turns out both are talented songwriters and a couple of the nicest guys you'll meet. As a duo they call themselves the Banjo Killers and are playing the 'Thirst every wednesday in January.

The trio started by ripping through an amped-up version of 'Ain't Nobody Gonna Miss Me When I'm Gone' followed by the instrumental 'Cherokee Shuffle'. Once it was clear that the newcomer (that's Lincoln!) could hang Tony and Scott kept him up there for the remainder of the evening! Folks were pressed up against the stage dancing, and well, it was nothing short of magical!

Thanks to The Banjo Killers for sharing the music!

It's official. After a constant stream of requests from friends and fans Lincoln is pulling together his very first band and beginning a monthly performance slot. Beginning FEBRUARY 1, 2008 you can find them the FIRST FRIDAY of every month at BIDDY McGRAW'S in Portland.

The band rehearsing right now includes Jim McKeon on guitar, Andy Love on Drums and Tyler Smith on bass. Jim has blown Lincoln's mind at the New Year's Eve set they did together at imbibe and the Haiti Benefit last Friday. Andy Love was the surprise guest at Cross-eyed Rosie's annual Christmas Party in December, sitting in on the skins and adding a whole new pocket to Rosie's brand of folky grooves. Tyler Smith and Andy Love have been a rhythm section together for years. Lincoln first caught them together in guitarist Jon Ostrom's short-lived but incredibly powerful band Badger, where they layed it down with such force that Lincoln has been joking he's going to pee himself in shock.

Biddy Mcgraw's is located at 6000 NE Glisan in Portland, Oregon. Lincoln is proud to be joining the roster of fantastic local and regional acts who have found a home at Biddy's. www.biddymcgraws.com
Hope to see you there!

Thanks to everyone who made Friday's and Saturday's shows such a success. On Firday we raised almost $1000 for Healing Hands for Haiti, a fantastic figure for a venue as cozy as Mississippi Pizza. I am particularly grateful to the musicians who made Friday such a treat for me as a performer: Josh Cole, Andy Lohr and "Dr. Kate" Saylor for joining me for bluegrass-by-the-seat-of-our-pants, and the incomperable Jim McKeon for helping me take the closing set to new heights.

It never ceases to amaze me how lucky I am to have such strong supporters in the audience every night. I am forever grateful to share these experiences with you. See you out there again soon!

-Lincoln

We're excited to let folks know that ANGELS & DEVILS ALIKE is now available on the Simple Living Network. The SLN is many things, all of them supporting the growing trend of people who are simplifiying their lives, work and home. We're proud to see A&DA right next to books and disks by thinkers who have influenced Lincoln for years.

New Photos up on this website! Many of you who have the new cd may recognize the inside cover shot by photographer John Fneger. On the photos page you can find more new pics from John (including some from the cd release show last Septermber) and close friend and shutterbug Carolyn Ganus. They have many stories to tell. Scan thru and enjoy.

Word of mouth works! Friends, fans and family are requesting to hear Lincoln in all kinds of places! We've heard reports from stations in Philadelphia (WXPN), Annapolis (which one was that?), and Seattle (KBCS)! You can influence the decision yourself online at RadioParadise.com where 'Maybe Souls' and 'When Will You Come Home' are being reviewed for play by the public.

take care & all the best!

Thanks as always for your amazing support and for being a part of the
music!

Peace and be well,
Lincoln & Co.

thanks to everyone who came and made last night's show at 9-muses so special! that's the friends, the dancers, the amazing musicians and 9-musus Acoustic tavern itself. That place is becoming a great place to catch really vibrant performances. there was some great energy there last night!

Last night was the official innaugural gig for the Outdoorsmen, a loose cadre of uniquely Pacific Northwestern songwriters and musicians. Characterized by honesty, generocity, camraderie and a love for our home in the PacificNorthwet, this may even be a whole genre of music.

at the 9 - muses the Outdoorsmen were: Alexa Wiley (the outdoorswoman!), Hunter Paye, Brad Creel, Dave Clarke, Lincoln Crockett & all the guys in Jim the Bad goat!

Future shows should be more of the same: great singing, great playing, dancing, and most of the musicians sitting in on one another's sets. Plus how can you beat the sing-along at the end!!

keep your eyes peeled for more...

Happy Holidays
-Lincoln

Just officially posted here: Lincoln Crockett will be joined by master guitarist Jim McKeon for a special New Year's even show at imbibe. Lincoln & Jim will rip the first set together, and be followed by swing/bluegrass masters Ida Viper (www.idaviper.com).

We think Jim McKeon is A-Mazing, and we'er gonna bet you will love what he and Lincoln do together. Hope you can join us for all or part of the evening.

info:
9:30 pm
imbibe, 2229 SE Hawthorne
Portland, OR 97214

Thanks to everyone who came and made the special double-bill such a success! The Laurelthirst said it was the biggest night they'd had in four years, and almost triple the attendance the last time Rosie played there in 2005.
Not that you'd need them to tell you: folks were to the stage for Lincoln's opening set, and it stayed that way late into the night. The crowd got really worked up and dancing during the second set, and by the encore the entire audience literally linked arms and swayed as a single unit to Lincoln, Alli and Ellie singing 'The John Day Waltz', from Rosie's latest album, ADJUSTED.
Special thanks to Brent, a long-time Rosie supporter and friend, who volunteered to change Lincoln's guitar string when it snapped during a particularly ferocious groove on the as-yet-unrecorded original 'Glory Hallelujah'.
Cross-eyed Rosie's next show is December 15th at the Goodfoot in Portland. Check the gig calendar to see when Lincoln is out next! See you soon.

Robb & Crockett's opening set for Greensky Bluegrass a the Goodfoot was a shockingly fun set. Used to almost no practice, Jimmy and Lincoln had a contageously good time and had people bopping, laughing and cheering the whole set. No one was more surprised than R&C! This was also a bit of a homecoming - Jimmy just returned to Portland that day after 2 years in tiny (and heavenly) Trout Lake, WA. Look for a lot more from Robb & Crockett in the near future...

On The Town (column)
“We Liked It” Local CD Reviews
pp 226

"It takes a fair amount of charm, chops and chutzpa to hold our attention with a minimal musical palette, but mandolin wrangler Lincoln Crockett, from local bluegrass outfit Cross-eyed Rosie, manages to do so on his album Angels & Devils Alike (www.lincolncrockett.com). Armed with just a mandolin, an acoustic guitar and a supple voice, Crockett conducts us on a folksy tour of his mood swings, from glum (“Nothing Makes Me Feel Good”) to glad (“Feels So Good”), and for the most part it’s a bump-free and tuneful trip."

Thanks, John!

Bluegrass" to "Country". Its still the same great music.

For those who prefer the experience of a physical CD, you can order
one through CD Baby. THE "BUY THE CD" link on CD Baby is:

Lincoln has also uploaded two tracks from the new album, 'When Will
You Come Home' and 'Maybe Souls', to popular internet radio station
