About the background photo...
This was taken in Vermont... a long way from South Louisiana. But it captures the Spirit of what Crawdiddy is about... ...taking the influences of all of the experiences of life and including those experiences in the music we produce. ...maybe a more 'southern' photo will follow... but this is nice...
Pershing
Crawdiddy is the dynamic musical collaboration of brothers Pershing Wells and Ken Wells who grew up on Bayou Black, La. (the plantation country west of Houma), deep in South Louisiana's Cajun country. The Wells brothers.. musical influences run from the Grand Ole Opry, Swamp Pop and Cajun to old-time soul, blues and R&B, to the Beatles and contemporary hip-hop.
About Crawdiddy...
Pershing Wells is owner of Digital Sac-a'-Lait Productions based in South Louisiana. He is a producer who specializes in working with songwriters to develop their material. He released Loveland, his first solo album, in February, 2003. He has been guitarist and vocalist for many popular South Louisiana bands over the years. He is the producer and recording engineer for the highly acclaimed CD on the Night Train Records label by Swamp Pop legend Joe Barry "Been Down That Muddy Road."
Ken Wells is a songwriter and guitar player who set aside his guitar for a number of years to pursue a writing career. He is an editor for Conde Nast Portfolio in Manhattan who, since the year 2000, still has found time to publish three critically acclaimed novels of Cajun Louisiana under the Random House imprint. While he considers South Louisiana his spiritual and musical home, his writing gig keeps him tied to the New York City area. So he writes music and noodles around on his guitar from his residence on the outskirts of Manhattan.

Online friends are people we may never meet... We see pictures, we see cams... It isn't the same.... We grow close... We care and love one another.... One day we may not hear from one another... Our hearts will break... All we see is a name on messenger but we don't see the person anymore... We pray..."Please come back" All I ask is that you remember me in the good times we had... Keep me close to your heart... Friends forever. Pass this on to all your friends... If I get it back... I know you care"
