About

A roots-infused, internationally touring folk duo, Crowes Pasture performs sometimes joyful, and oftentimes, poignant, songs that reflect a mutual passion, sense of discovery and celebration of the human connection. Monique’s romantic clawhammer banjo playing and Andy’s expressive guitar picking are enlivened by their personal chemistry, intimate harmonies and unique instrumental style that can only be described as a “banjo-guitar romance.”

Crowes Pasture has been a supporting act for The Kennedys and The Small Glories, and has performed at internationally renowned folk venues such as Club Passim in Cambridge, Massachusetts, Rockwood Music Hall, in NYC and Cafe Mariposa in Montreal. Crowes Pasture was chosen to showcase at Folk Alliance Regionals Midwest by DJ Al Kniola, and was nominated for Roots Act of the Year (New England Music Awards 2022 and 2019) and Americana Artist of the Year (Boston Music Awards 2019). The duo was named Finalist for Best Group/Duo in the International Acoustic Music Awards in 2020 and 2021. Crowes Pasture has had eight singles reach Top 10 Songs on the Folk Alliance International Folk Chart, including their #1 hit, “Slow it Down,” the title track of their 2019 album. Fresh from touring in Southern Ontario and Quebec (Summer 2022), the duo is currently recording their fourth album, with award winning producer Eric Lichter of Connecticut’s Dirt Floor Recording Studios.
