Mr. Crumb / Press

“Voted Top Local Band”

“Mr. Crumb's song "Where Have You Been" is a hit”

“Mr. Crumb Fun With Venison is a hit”

“This indie/folk artist is remarkably capable of using melancholy and angst to subtly pay homage to such icons as Elliott Smith and Modest Mouse without blatantly ripping them off. Mr. Crumb's music features a unique core of musicality and revolves around a grouping of unusual, bendy-guitar leads combined with unexpected found instruments and psychedelic pedal effects. " ”

“Mr. Crumb, a.k.a. Christopher Caplan, is one of those whose talents blend eclectic groups of song genres, presenting them with cohesive charm. His core style is a gypsy, jazzy-acoustic swing augmented by indie instrumentation. Dig the use of xylophones and tinny pianos that complement Caplan's raspy, semi-woeful howl.
