Crooked River


Crooked River


Crooked River and their families got together for dinner every Friday for several years before Rob Jacobs started teaching Lana Dishner to play guitar. Less than a year later, Rob Jacobs, Teri Jacobs and Lana Dishner began to play Carter Family, Johnny Cash and Hank Williams tunes together, with Rob and Lana on guitar and Teri on harmonica. Teri learned to play guitar shortly after and began writing songs like a madwoman, while Rob and Lana continued to write original material. The next thing Crooked River knew, they had an impressive list of original songs. Rob added the mandolin, giving their sound a new depth while Lana and Teri honed their unique vocal sound. With successful shows at several local venues as well as a show in the Grrrlz Rock music series at Sam Bond's Garage, Crooked River has been moving at a breakneck pace. Their music is rich, retro and moves with the swing of backyard country. They are one of the few bands playing original music with a classic country sound.
