The Crooked Angels

MARRIED TO MUSIC ~ MARRIED TO EACH OTHER

Husband and wife Jamie and Amy Potter -- The Crooked Angels -- serve up a distilled blend of "bourbon-infused Americana," backed by a core ensemble of some of the area's finest musicians. From raucous, rambling blues, to delicate country ballads, we believe that soul of American music is rediscovered in every live performance. We play ash-floored honky-tonks and pristine concert stages. Hell, we'll play your own living room if you tell Grandma you aren't putting out the good chairs.

We are fortunate to reside in the heart of the Piedmont region of Virginia, at the foothills of the Blue Ridge Mountains, where the roots of American music intersect. Here North meets South, country meets the blues, and echoes of Dixieland resound. As songwriters, we believe it is our duty to keep the roots of our American musical landscape alive by paying homage to tradition while creating our own authentic sound.

Our debut album Bread & Bourbon, released on June 19th 2016, is our love letter to American Roots Music: from the Appalachian hollers, to the streets of New Orleans, to the juke joints of Chicago, to the honky-tonks of Nashville. We wrote these songs as a
serenade of our nation's musical heritage. While we set out to make a record that was all about the music, it evolved into a celebration of community, friendship, and love.
