Crying Time

Crying Time will have party-goers dancing - from two-steps to country waltzes. With the band's deep songbook, they'll hear tunes they know, like Rhinestone Cowboy and Faded Love, along with lesser-known honky tonk gems like Once a Day and Walk on By. Their set also includes originals that sit pretty in the mix, fitting right in with the classics. Jill Rogers's vocals never fail to move listeners as she sings the stories of love gone wrong. Fantastic soloing and solid rhythm keep listeners engaged.

The members of Crying Time are veteran musicians, with years of experience in the Bay Area music scene, and a deep love of country and honky tonk music. Jill Rogers (guitar/vocals) and Peter Garellick (bass/vocals) are real-life brother and sister who honed their harmonizing skills as kids. "No singing at the dinner table" was an actual rule at their house. Myles Boisen (guitars) has played with artists ranging Fred Frith and John Zorn to Tom Waits. Tim Rowe (drums) has been holding down the rhythm in bands here, New York, and his home state of Minnesota for decades. Tony Marcus (fiddle) has been a member the Cheap Suit Serenaders, the Saddle Cats, and Cats 'n' Jammers. He's a local authority on Western swing. They've gotten together to play honky tonk and country music, and have been gigging in the Bay Area for the past four years. They've got three albums - Ten Golden Hits (2016), Linda (2017), and Jukebox (due out 2018).

Crying Time is a quintet, and all five members contribute vocals. The band is able to provide mics, stands, PA, monitors, and even floor lighting upon request (for an additional fee).
