Biography
Crawfish Stew are a traditional power trio, relying on the 'bare bones' of rock, no gimmicks, no backing tracks, just Guitar, Bass, Drums and vocals. What you see and hear is exactly what you are getting. Co-Founder, Bass player and backing vocalist Shaun McCready and Drummer Chris Davidson work hard at laying the groundwork for Co-Founder Todd Stewart's soaring guitar work and strong vocals. The discerning listener will notice under this 'wall of sound' approach three musicians at the top of their game with an understated technical prowess that are constantly working to enhance the feel of the material they are performing. The band has a strong focus on the live performance, setting out to create a fun, high energy and at times intense show every gig. To quote Bill Chambers (who worked with the boys on their debut release 'Oncoming Tide'), 'it's refreshing to see a band who is not afraid to have a bit of attitude and grit, they remind me of some of those early rock guys like the Kinks etc". Crawfish proudly partnered with Newcastle music legend Chris Varley in 2018, this saw them playing in many well know local venues and also expand into regional NSW. We are excited to announce a partnership with Whirlwind Entertainment moving into 2025 and beyond. Musically, Crawfish Stew lives up to the name. They wear their hearts and influences proudly on their sleeves drawing from several decades of combined experience. Crawfish Stew proudly rejects labels and genre pigeonholes, preferring to (and we are stealing a quote from Lemmy) be known solely as a "rock band". We aim to provide the audience with a seamless mix of songs ranging from Ballads, to Country, to Blues, to traditional and Hard Rock. With release of their album 'Oncoming Tide' and its two singles, both of which have charted in the top 40 and top 10 respectively, and our work on new material combined with regular gigs around the NSW Pub circuit, Crawfish Stew are striving to bring their sound to an ever-expanding fan base
