Bio

After releasing their debut album, The First One, Crooked Diehl found themselves at a crossroads, and decided to move away from their folk-country roots. The album’s final track, “Highway Home,” was a rock n’ roll premonition of the band’s future musical identity. It was also the only song written by all members. After moving to Nashville, the band released their EP Tri-County Special, featuring psych rock murder ballad “Said and Done.”A string of shows throughout the south with swamp-rock artist, Jaid Joice, catapulted the band into their own self-identified genre: Bluesgaze. Through complex harmony and distorted guitar tones, Crooked Diehl creates a grungey complexion in songs lyrically rooted in the classic delta blues. Imagine a cosmic gumbo of ZZ Top, Pink Floyd, and Alice in Chains. The band strives for diversity in storytelling and electric live performances that take you beyond a studio recording.
