Hi. We're Jayber Crow. Pete is in Washington and Zach is in Pennsylvania, but we still get together to make music, so keep your ears open.
If you've got a show you'd like us to play, please let us know. We don't check this site as often as we once did, however, so please email zach (at) jaybercrow (dot) com
“These guys are awesome. Plain and simple.” -- staergetaleht.blogspot.com
"I have nothing bad to say about this album [Two Short Stories], and every second that you spend not owning a copy is a second you're wasting." --minneapolisfuckingrocks.blogspot.com
"Jayber Crow is what your ears drink because they can't drink hot tea: warm and inviting, and possibly good for you." --Nuvo: Indy's Alternative Voice
“Jayber Crow is, completely objectively, currently the best folk band in Minnesota, and I just love to sing their praises.” --Manitou Messenger (Saint Olaf College)
"[O My God When I Drop Dead] is a spring weekend song, plain and simple. It's coffee, sunshine, and the sound of everything thawing." --music.for-robots.com
“I offer "Drinking Song of a Germinating Seed" as not only my song of the day but the anthem of my summer…[a]nd if you have not yet purchased multiple copies of Jayber Crow's first full-length album, Two Short Stories, kick yourself in the ass for all the joy that has been missing in your life and go buy it.” --asongfortheday.blogspot.com
"Freeze and Thaw is a hopeful, uplifting slice of woodsy folk. Just what I need. O God When I Drop Dead is another frenetic folk jam from Jayber Crow that just romps all over you for a solid 2 minutes (handclaps too!).” --www.thestureidexperiment.com
“Pete and Zach are known for their intimate shows which push to give you a personal invitation to each song. But if you've heard their new album, you'll know this isn't very difficult. Two Short Stories shows a lot of new potential for their simple arrangements and story telling lyrics. They're definitely a pleasure to listen to especially when they're singing together.” --www.bbqchickenrobot.com
“Nothing in music gives me a clearer picture of the Midwest than their debut E.P., The Farmer and the Nomad.” -- minneapolisfuckingrocks.blogspot.com
"[The Farmer and the Nomad gives] the sense that these two just sat down on any given back porch (overlooking an Iowa cornfield, presumably) with their instruments and equipment and hit "record." The results are breathtaking..." --Duluth Budgeteer News
“Easily one of the best releases of the year…” --Sliver Magazine
you guys would be big in omaha. being from there i can say that, you shouldn't stop making music! i heard you play at luther a few years ago. check out saddle creek records, seriously. peace.
Hey! I love you guys. And, if you check out my new songs and send me a nice comment about them I will send you a sweet ass picture of M. J. Fox from "Teen Wolf."
Dear Peter, you guys played with the floorbirds! thats awesome, i wish i would've made it to a show.. but anyways your father told me about you moving out west, and that Zach your still in indiana? i hope this doesn't mean you two will stop creating music, and if it does. i hope that you one day meet again and do what you do best. Always, Al Trusty
