California-based songwriters Deborah Crooks and Kwame Copeland hail from Alameda, an island on the eastern shore of San Francisco Bay, and the historic “Bay Station” rail stop from which they take their name. A landscape with rich coastal and geographical influences, just a short commute from downtown San Francisco, Alameda was once crisscrossed with thriving railroad lines and busy shipyards. Faded industry now giving rise to revitalization, it’s the shore upon which Bay Station is standing, the lens of their perspective, deeply reflected in their Americana crafted tunes. Drawing upon their collective literary chops and post-punk and twang tendencies, Crooks and Copeland released Your Own Reaction (under their former name, KCDC), a 10-song collection of Americana and rock, in 2014. Now with their follow-up recording, Go Out and Make Some (March8th 2016) they hit their stride with at true melting pot of original Americana, blues, jazz and rock infused songs about love, lust, sandy beaches, dusty roads, wandering holy men, wolf birds and more.
In support of the new album, Crooks and Copeland toured the US in the spring of 2016, and are playing as a 5-piece throughout the Bay Area summer of 2016, including June 9, 2016 at The Ivy Room.
A night of original Americana by three Bay Area bands:
Thursday, June 9th, 2016
The Ivy Room
Bay Station, Nate Jones & The Slow Sippers, Kate Burkart Band - 8pm
