Coot Crabtree

Coot Crabtree's music is about heart and pain, and the joy of life lived along the rough edges and backpages of the Hoosier heartland.

 

He's a poet, he's a punk, he's a hillbilly, a hobo, a folk singer, an outlaw, a bluesman, and most of all, an acolyte of the great truth tellers from all corners of American roots music.  

 

It's all in there, whether he's delivering one of his brilliant original songs, a famous number from the traditional songbook, or a cover of John Prine or Townes Van Zandt. He may rip your heart out with the saddest songs you've ever heard, or he may crack you up with something hilarious, or he may get you clappin and stompin like a tent revival...either way, when you see Coot Crabtree perform, you know you're going to feel something real.
