Kites and Crows (indie folk)
What:
KITES & CROWS, is an indie folk trio from Ashland, Oregon with singer/songwriter Mysha Caruso, multi-instrumentalist Jesse Baldwin and cellist Nancy Martin. The band employs Folk and Americana instrumentation such as banjo , accordion, cello, harmonica, guitar, vibraphonette and more. Mysha Caruso attended the Walnut Hill School for the performing arts in Boston as a theatre major but his main focus was in vocal training with teachers from the New England Conservatory. He began to shift his focus to songwriting when he left Boston to travel. His solo troubadour style performance eventually led him to Ashland. The three musicians of Kites & Crows met at the Oregon Shakespeare Festival where Mysha works as a stagehand , Jesse is a lighting technician and Nancy works on house staff. The name Kites & Crows actually is inspired from the production of Coriolanus, where the recently banished battle hero is hiding out “…under the canopy…in the city of kites and crows…” Kites & Crows performs on the outdoor Green Show stage and at various events at the Oregon Shakespeare Festival. Kites & Crows are on a Fall North West tour with their new CD ” Golden Room”. More information on the trio can be found at www.kitesandcrows.net
