More tix added in San Diego and Santa Ana! Y'all snatched up the Constellation Room tix so quickly that we added another date to our tour! And we got bumped to a bigger room in SD, so that show is going to be a RIOT. TYSM. Tix available now.

Some of the songs ARE about other women <3 🌈
ik the crane wives singer is straight but every time she sings abt a gender neutral person im like theres no way a man and a woman could love like this this HAS to be abt another woman 🙅

One year ago, we played an unforgettable show to a sold out crowd in our hometown. We had no idea it would be the last show we'd play in 2020. You can revisit our favorite moments from our last live performance on our newest album, HERE I AM, now available on all platforms <3

I was thinking about how I’d love to get a Crane Wives tattoo in the future as they mean a ton to me so I decided to design one! I’d love to get this, probably in black lines and red like the one version. I’m really happy with the design :D

It's been a big week. Violent white supremacy continues to be a danger to our community. We stand with our Asian brothers and sisters in the wake of last week's senseless mass shooting, and encourage everyone to speak out against racism

It's both. We want to do both.
other diagnoses from bands i listen to:
tmg: wow your imposter syndrome gets wild sometimes huh
the crane wives: you either want to burn down a corporate bank or kill your ex-husband or both
ajj: i’d tell you to please get therapy but we both know you can’t afford it

Missing the road, missing PA, missing seeing your face at shows, Caitlyn! <3 Hope you're doing well and so glad to hear you're digging the new album.
Thank you
@TheCraneWives
for the "Here I Am: Live from the Listening Room" album! It certainly fills the voids of missing live music just a bit.
Keep creating. Keep being awesome. This PA girl can't wait to see you guys live again one day soon.
