The Crane Wives, from Grand Rapids, have been selling out shows across the U.S. on the back of a folk and rock sound that straddles the line between The Lumineers and Black Belt Eagle Scout.

Rachel Bobbitt—whose vocal sounds a little like the love child of Adrianne Lenker and the late Dolores O’Riordan—opens in midst of what promises to be a breakout year after Exclaim! named the Canadian art-pop songwriter in its “Class Of 2024.
