Bob Crow is an eclectic guitarist/singer/songwriter based out of Seattle, WA. While his influences may lean towards Prog Rock (Queen, Steely Dan, Zappa, Radiohead, and Pink Floyd to name a few), he takes a decidedly stripped-down, acoustic guitar driven approach to many of his arrangements. "Minimalist Progressive Pop" may be the best description. For fans of inventive guitar work, and introspective yet humorous lyrics.
OTHER PROJECTS

Just came by to check in for the first time in a while. It's such a kick watching you play. You make regular guys like me feel like we may as well be playing our guitars with our big toe! Your playing is just wonderful to hear and see. Please keep it up!
Well, when I saw you last night playing with Sheldon at the Sunset, I didn't realize you were the Bob Crow I'm already friends with on Myspace. I really enjoyed your set last night...lots of fun! Thanks for entertaining me! The Webber guitar sounded great. Here's a pic of me with my custom guitar by Simon Fay.
Hey. Nothing's more annoying than a random band on MySpace trying to convince you to join their mailing list, right? So here's one more. If you're interested in joining please click here and have a wonderful day.
Peace and love to you and everyone you care about, James Coates Random musical solicitor
