KITES & CROWS, is an indie folk rock troupe based on the songwriting of Ashland, Oregon based artist Mysha Caruso. With the addition of multi-instrumentalist Jesse Baldwin, percussionist Bryan Helfrich ( ONE HORSE SHY) and bassist Kabir Stanton, they offer a lively delivery to the stories that the songs portray with lyrical imagery and emotion. Mysha met Jesse at the Oregon Shakespeare Festival where he works as a stagehand and Jesse is a lighting technician. The name kites & crows actually is inspired from the production of Coriolanus, where the recently banished battle hero is hiding out "...under the canopy...in the city of kites and crows..." since their conception under a year ago they have toured the North West and continue to offer a wild folk rock display of comfortable poetics and memorable melodies ....
“...something special happened ,call it 21st century folk; call it whatever you want. Kites & Crows is creating incredibly wild and original folk sounds.... set with brilliant nuance and subtle conviction. an experience you will remember. a pleasure to listen to,..” Rating: 4 Stars (Out of 5) - Wildy’s World

" "Call it whatever you want: americana, folk, roots…it doesn’t matter. The tunes are as inviting and comfortable as a fleece vest and Birkenstock sandals or a cuppa coffee and croissant with jam. This is music for your soul.
K&C describe their music as boat ride, at night, with some wine, a dripping candle. I think of it as a late night conversation with a good friend who has some stories to tell. You can wrap these songs around yourself in order to keep warm.
There’s no pretentiousness here. No effort by the musicians to establish whatever street cred that most others feel they need. These songs are about life as seen by a discerning, deep-seeing writer.
The production of this music is a masterpiece of clever acoustic arranging although the result exhibits a light touch. Even though the packaging is bare bones, the music is professionally recorded with care given to bringing out all the instruments.
Summary: A gem. Buy this and amaze your friends. This one goes on my shelf.""
