Recording their debut long player 'Overgrown Tales' in Chicago with legendary engineer Steve Albini (Nirvana, The Pixies, Gogol Bordello) allowed The Crooked Fiddle Band to capture their live show: "It is the unstoppable intensity that hits you in the chest and forces you to move," says The Crooked Fiddle Band's Mark Stevens. Overgrown Tales roams across a wide range of styles and influences yet maintains an intense, vivid energy "..it's like finding a folk tale deep in the forest, rooted in tradition but with the newest of shoots and a few thorns."
