About

WE DELIVER GENUINE, GRITTY, AND HIGH-OCTANE ELECTRIC BLUES. WE TAKE THE RAW HEART OF THE DELTA, MIX IT WITH THE ELECTRIFYING SHUFFLE OF CHICAGO, AND POUR IT INTO EVERY SLIDE RIFF AND HARMONICA WAIL.

We also have wedding experience. Many clients choose us over your everyday wedding bands because we are a high energy, party band rather than so many other "YMCA" type bands. Check out our wedding reviews.

"These Crooks are less about stealing than honoring their R&B, blues and rock 'n roll influences--loose and fun and thoroughly earnest is their approach. Darryl Holliday Darryl is an awesome Sax Player and music teacher. Lead guitarist Russ Hartig has exceptional chops: whether playing Hendrix, Presley, Cream, Stevie Ray Vaughn, or Freddie King classics, he nimbly and seemingly effortlessly switches genres and goes beyond imitation to make established tunes sound both immediately familiar and notably his own. The reliable rhythm section backed by awesome drummer and music teacher Andrew Szymanski, and Ray Somera seques easily across the genres Crook County explores, and multi-instrumentalist Pat Fiege (harp, keys, guitar, sax) is an affable and inviting front man with enough vocal growl and melody to span the band's catalogue. Plus, you can tell he's enjoying the hell out of playing this music the band so obviously loves. Before you lock them up, give the Crook County Blues Band a listen."

--former Illinois Entertainer Editor in Chief Michael C. Harris.

Found Guilty of Rocking every venue!

Catch the Fire.

The Sound of Sin and Steel. We don't just play the blues—we play American music. We deliver high-octane electric blues that doesn't ask permission. We bleed the raw heart of the Delta (Muddy Waters, Robert Johnson), sharpen it with the electric fire of blues-rock (Jimi Hendrix, Stevie Ray Vaughan, Led Zeppelin), and infuse it with the relentless groove of Soul and Jazz (James Brown, Otis Redding, John Coltrane). This is a band with deep roots but a forward velocity
