About
West Coast Americana
"... the best parts of Americana, Alt-Country, and just plain good storytelling."
Bay Station finds California-based songwriter/musicians Kwame Copeland and Deborah Crooks combining their talents and enlisting several musical friends to create a diverse form of Americana, folk and rock music. Writing songs about love, lust, sandy beaches, dusty roads, wandering holy men, wolf birds, climate issues and more, they've released several recordings, including 2017's Other Desert Cities and 2023's Shapeshifter. Their latest collection, Mystery Ride, comes out August 21.
In 2018, they launched their Love the Bay Music & Sailing Series on and around the San Francisco Bay, playing on deck with a variety of musical guests at their ports of call. The next year, they expanded Love the Bay concept into a monthly series of videos featuring performance and interviews with songwriters aboard Espresso. Amid the Covid pandemic, they performed countless porch concerts for their local community and produced a 'SIP the Bay' livestream before resuming live performances throughout the West Coast.
"This band admirably reflects the wealth of music explored by Hot Tuna, they have that James Gang (Joe Walsh) metabolism, that Grateful Dead / Jerry Garcia Band homegrown classicism, and that ability to strike just the right chord with everyone in an appreciative audience." — John Apice, No Depression
