ARTIST BIO:
British Americana duo Crazy Water Common was born of a happy accident... An unexpectedly poetic tale, involving two seasoned touring musicians, a robbery in Austin, Texas and a double-booking in the Swiss Alps. For this brand new act, necessity was indeed the mother of invention.
First conceived during an impromptu residency in the picturesque foothills of the Matterhorn in Zermatt, Switzerland, Toby Starks and Rob Wicks officially formed Crazy Water Common in late 2023 to continue to develop their free-flowing, energetic performances and bring them to listeners back home in the UK and beyond.
Both veterans of national & internationally touring bands, each have built a reputation as highly specialised and capable career musicians. Starks’ rhythmic and articulate guitar style alongside the sympathetic, understated banjo and pedal-steel-guitar playing of Wicks create a powerful foundation for their thought-provoking songwriting. Providing a unique take upon the ever-broadening genre of Americana, has already garnered significant attention from their musical peers and audiences alike.
Poised for their debut release in 2024, Crazy Water Common are gaining pace and ready for the road...
