“I’m a life held in tension, a tuned guitar string, the music of dawn between bending and breaking, through the dreaming and waking…”
-Crispin Schroeder, from the song Dreaming and Waking
Crispin Schroeder has been cooking up Crispytunes, a unique blend of New Orleans Roots music, Blues, Gospel, and Americana for over 20 years. Whether drawing from his vast collection of original songs or his extensive catalogue of covers, Crispin's music has a way of getting joy in your soul and a smile on your face!
"Good questions are better than simple answers because good questions can stick with you your whole life. Good questions also lead to better art."
Crispin Schroeder has always seen music and songwriting as a journey of discovery, an exploration of the world around us and of the shadows and treasures within us, as well as questions about meaning, love, and transcendence. To this journey he brings a relentless curiosity that straddles the tension of what is known and what is mystery. This curiosity is not only demonstrated in his lyrics but in the wide range of musical terrain he covers from Blues and Gospel, to Jazz and Americana. The result are songs that make their home at the crossroads of chaos and order, of reason and faith, of dashed hopes and awakened dreams, music that is both earthy and ethereal.
