About Crowe Boys:
Crowe Boys’ charisma comes naturally, as they spent their childhood traveling by RV around the American South with their family band. As the brothers developed their musical talent, Ocie read books, took lessons, and leaned on his mother’s side of the family to learn as much as he could. Wes often turned to online videos, trying to replicate what the musicians on screen were doing. When the family band dissolved following their mother’s death from cancer, Ocie and Wes Crowe put down roots in New Orleans as young teenagers. Although the family band usually performed gospel music, the brothers gravitated toward bands like Journey, Switchfoot and NEEDTOBREATHE, and later, folk-influenced artists such as Gregory Alan Isakov, Noah Kahan, and Caamp.
Crowe Boys’ journey to find their own musical identity led to writing “Where Did I Go Wrong;” maintaining a positive attitude as they assembled their catalog of original songs. Andrew Campanelli, the drummer for the multi-platinum rock band The Revivalists, soon teamed with the brothers to capture their undeniable dynamic in the studio.
When a live clip of “Where Did I Go Wrong” went viral, fans instantly responded to the honesty of the lyrics and the intimacy of the performance. As the video received tens of millions of views, Crowe Boys attracted the attention of Universal Music Group Nashville. With the release of “Bootstraps,” Ocie and Wes continue to push their musical boundaries while further establishing an ever-growing fan base that now feels like family.
