MORE ABOUT LINCOLN:
Lincoln is the real deal, a talented solo performer singing standout original songs on mandolin & guitar, all while playing leads, rhythms and chords all at the same time. He holds audiences’ attention with nothing more than the expansiveness in his voice and his ability to move a mountain of music through his instruments. Stylistically he twists funk, punk, bluegrass, new-age, prog-rock and folk into a mesmerizing set of uplifting, wry soul-searching. The combined effect has garnered Lincoln attention from within the regional music industry community, the reputation of being a 'musician's musician' and growing audience support.
Lincoln Crockett cut his chops as singer, songwriter and mandolin player for Cross-eyed Rosie, and has helped turn this popular Portland, Oregon five-piece into the Northwest's premier progressive bluegrass band. The band sold out it's Portland and Seattle cd release shows for their long-awaited disk second disk Adjusted.
Lincoln is a Portland, Oregon-based, working musician who can be found singing and playing mandolin in several projects, including Robb & Crockett, The Josh Cole Band and Lincoln's latest baby, Lincoln Crockett & Enemies. 'Enemies is a four-piece with guitarist Jim McKeon, bassist Tyler Smith and drummer Andy Love. Robb&Crockett is a duo formed with Portland singer/songrocker Jimmy Robb. The two are gaining a reputation for an almost supernatural solidarity in performances, brutal acoustic energy and brother-tight harmonies. The Josh Cole Band rips traditional bluegrass and features bandleader Josh Cole, current president of the Oregon Bluegrass Association. Josh has been a Portland Bluegrass stalwart since his days in Redwood Highway. Together with the other members of the JCB, he and Lincoln provide crystal clear, high lonesome harmonies and Bluegrass carved right out of tradition. Lincoln also lends his skills to supporting Portland area artists like Brad Creel and Alexa Wiley.
In addition to releasing Angels & Devils Alike, in 2007 Lincoln opened for Phish's Page McConnell at Portland's Aladdin Theater, had his song 'When Will You Come Home' featured on KINK 101.9FM's Local Music Spotlight and placed his popular song 'Sawdust Settler' on a compilation benefiting the Salmon Nation Project. He began 2008 with a successful solo tour into Washington, a guest appearance sitting-in with virtuosos Tony Furtado and Scott Law, and yet another spin on KINK. From here Lincoln is looking forward to increased touring in support of the new album, a significant press campaign and continuing his course as a successful independent musician.
As a solo performer, Lincoln's intricately crafted pop, bluegrass rippers and personal folk songs are full of soul and motion: fluid, expressive, gentle, intense. This is especially apparent live. He is a top-notch musician on both of his instruments, and sings in one of the most strikingly beautiful voices to come out of Portland's Indie-loving underbelly. Totally unique, this is a modern ear returning to traditional instruments. Call it the sound of when gentle kicks a##.
ON THE MUSIC PAGE you can hear tracks from the Angels & Devils Alike and his 2004 EP Make Love Music, plus a live version of ‘Gone Away’ from his 2007 set at Portland's Aladdin Theater!
