Resound Presents: The Crane Wives - ACT I with special guest Lilith Max in Austin, Texas at RADIO/EAST on Thursday, April 23, 2026.
Born of the 2010’s folk boom and now comfortably stationed in their
rock and roll era, The Crane Wives epitomize the evolving landscape of
indie folk. Their high-energy performances have been described as
“charged with emotion and technical skill” (Blurred Culture LA), while
their harmony-dense melodies support deeply resonant lyrics, exploring
the vulnerable and the ugly sides of the human condition. The band has
amassed over 1.3 million monthly listeners on Spotify, racking up
over 150 million streams on their most popular songs and
accumulating listenership from far-flung corners of the US to the UK,
Australia, Germany, Brazil, Poland, Mexico, and the Philippines.
Featured by Michigan Radio and NPR’s “All Songs Considered, ”the
band recently released their sixth full-length studio record, Beyond
Beyond Beyond, to high praise, with Glasse Factory calling the album “a
testament to the band’s ability to turn personal struggles into universally
relatable anthems." Niner Times describes the new release as “angsty,
haunting and gritty, ”praising its departure from the more traditional folk
sound of the Crane Wives’ previous records. Since its release in Sept
2024, Beyond Beyond Beyond has accrued over 24 million streams on
Spotify.
The pulse of the Crane Wives is delivered by Ben Zito (bass) and Dan
Rickabus (drums), creating a driving, dynamic backdrop while co-leads
Emilee Petersmark and Kate Pillsbury establish expansive and gritty
conversations between their electric guitars. A web of three-part
harmony helps to soften the blow of their emotional candor, like a 21st
century Cerberus, the hound of Hades reimagined as an emotional
support animal.
The Crane Wives have 6 full-length albums under their belts and have
performed over 600 shows across the US, sharing stages with acts such
as The Avett Brothers, Lake Street Dive, Rusted Root, The Dead South,
Joseph, and many more.
