Bio
KITES & CROWS, is an indie folk trio afloat on the songwriting of Ashland, Oregon based artist Mysha Caruso. With the addition of multi-instrumentalist Jesse Baldwin and cellist Nancy Martin. "...textured, melodic folk music driven by the aching sounds of the cello, banjo and accordion and colored with charming harmonies... oodles of pretty melodies..." — the Bend Bulletin 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..." -

"....Kites And Crows is a simple yet sincere indie-folk band comprised of much talent. From the gentle vocals of lead singer Mysha Caruso to the sounds of multi-instrumentalist Jesse Baldwin and other band members such as Nancy Martin on the cello, this band delivers legit mellow folk. They are a young band but have already managed to create some beautiful songs..."

"...intelligent songwriting.." - The Siskiyou News
".. oodles of pretty melodies..." - The Bend Bulletin
".....Mysha Caruso and Jesse Baldwin met and still work together at a famous Shakespeare festival, so it’s probably no coincidence their music has the ability to carry a listener along on a wave of sound the way a Shakespeare sonnet can carry a reader on a wave of words. Caruso’s lyrics, thoughtful and free of cliches, tell stories of loss and redemption, love, friendship, going away and coming home again. Caruso sings his words confidently over the strains of his acoustic guitar and Baldwin’s banjo and accordion. Caruso and Baldwin play together like jazz musicians, expertly weaving their instruments and voices into a pleasant folk/indie sound that leaves a listener tapping his fingers and nodding along. Kites and Crows’ music is hard to define, but hints of the band’s influences such as the Decemberists and Josh Ritter are sprinkled throughout their songs. If Kites and Crows sounds this tight after being together for such a short time, I can hardly wait to see what the future holds for them. Definitely quality work. "
