Crowes Pasture

Short BIO 

As Crowes Pasture, partners Monique Byrne and Andy Rogovin spin their soprano and tenor voices into gossamer harmonies, then weave them into delicately textured arrangements featuring his guitar and her clawhammer banjo. On their new album, Don’t Blink, their silken melodies and soulful lyrics are further enhanced by three guest fiddlers and coproducer Eric M Lichter’s multi-instrumental contributions. On the gently unfolding title tune, the folk/Americana duo reflect on the fleeting nature of time and the importance of savoring precious moments, a theme ribboning through several tracks on the album — including their moving cover of Bruce Springsteen’s “If I Should Fall Behind.”

Caregiver and especially You At Every Age being subjects not that common in Contemporary music; but Crowes Pasture take these themes and turn them into something very special ...”                                                                                            —— The Rocking Magpie

“Crowes Pasture song, Madison, is reminiscent of the great alt-country band, the Jayhawks, particularly in the vocal blend, just really tight, close harmonies, in the Everly Brothers style.  You can hear a little Gillian Welch/Dave Rawlings in there as well.”

"What a dynamic duo!  Skillfully crafted, emotional songwriting, compelling vocals and tasty accompaniment abound.  The fact that they are husband and wife and successfully weave this all together with an approachable, laid back stage presence makes it all the more inviting and real."
