about
Crooked Saws recorded their debut album, Mo-Fi’, on a Saturday afternoon in singer/guitarist Jesse’s living room using two mics and an 8-track reel to reel machine. They raised five hundred dollars through a Kickstarter campaign, got the album pressed, began booking shows, and then Jesse almost died. After Jesse’s six weeks in the hospital and three more months recovering, Crooked Saws went to work fueled by the intent only a brush with death can inspire. In under a year they’ve opened for national act Reignwolf at First Avenue, had their music featured on Field and Stream’s popular show Hook Shots and the Outdoor Channel’s award winning show Head Hunters, and were finalists in Famous Dave’s Battle of the Blues Bands. Their self produced video for the album’s opening track, Low, has over one hundred thousand views on Youtube. Crooked Saws tirelessly perform around the Twin Cities, be it on street corners, sold out clubs or almost empty bars. Crooked Saws’ music has been described as the best qualities of Monster Magnet drug by David Lynch through the finest mid-western mud. ”Grit” and “dirt,” “raw” and “soul” are words regularly employed to paint a picture of their sound. From the deepest roots of the blues, of hill and mountain music, to the modern thunder of guitar and drums played hard and loud, Crooked Saws is “a two-piece powerhouse to which you can’t stop listening.” User-contributed text is available under the Creative Commons By-SA License; additional terms may appl
